[Surya Prajnapti Sutra]
Just as the first ayana is described, so is the second ayana. Just as the ayana, so is the year, the yuga, the vasas, the vasasahasra, the vasasayasahasra, the puvva, the puvve, until the seas are filled with the sisaphelia. Ussappini
Now, when the ussappini rises in the south of Mount Mandara on Jambudvipa, then the ussappini also rises in the north.
When the ussappini rises in the north, then there is no ussappini, no osappini in the east-west of Jambudvipa on Mount Mandara. At that time, the Samanauaso are established.
Thus, the osappini. The salt sea
Now, when the day is in the south of the salt sea, then the day is also in the north of the salt sea. When the day is in the north of the salt sea, then there is rain in the east-west of the salt sea.
The rest is the same as in Jambudvipa, until the osappini. Dhayi Khand
Now, in the Dhayi Khand, the sun - 1. (a) Where there is 'ussappini', there is 'osappini'. 2. 'Just as the rotation of Jambudvipa is described, so is the salt sea described in the same way.'
Navaran - With this understanding, all the ayanas should be described. P. (a) In the salt sea, O Master! The sun -
Does it rise in the north-west and set in the south-west? (b) Does it rise in the south-west and set in the north-west? (c) Does it rise in the south-west and set in the north-west?
(d) Does it rise in the north-west and set in the north-west? U. (a-d) Yes, O Master! In the salt sea, the sun -
It rises in the north-west and sets in the south-west, until it rises in the north-west and sets in the north-west.
With this understanding, it should be understood - until P. (a) When, O Master! the first ussappini rises in the south of the salt sea,
then does the first ussappini also rise in the north? (b) When the first ussappini rises in the north, then there is no osappini,
no ussappini in the east-west of the salt sea? Are the Samanauaso established at that time? U. Yes, O Master! That should be said until the Samanauaso!
