## Ninth Chapter: The Elimination of the Doubt Regarding the Sun's Rays - 30.
**Q:** How does the sun eliminate the doubt?
**A:** There are three views on this matter:
1. Some say that the beings who are touched by the sun's rays become heated, and these heated beings then heat the external beings.
2. Others say that the beings who are touched by the sun's rays do not become heated, and these unheated beings then heat the external beings.
3. Still others say that the beings who are touched by the sun's rays become heated in a certain way, but not in another way. Those who are heated in a certain way then heat the external beings in that way, and those who are not heated in that way do not heat the external beings in that way.
However, we say that the rays of the sun and moon, which are emitted from the bodies of the gods, are scattered and spread out.
From the space between these rays, other rays emerge. These emerging rays, which are scattered and spread out, then heat the external beings.
