## Ninth Chapter
[73]
And, leaving the half-pौरुषी, leaving the half-pौरुषी, ask, leaving the day-part, leaving the day-part, the calculation, until... Q. Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is gone or not in 1900 parts of the day. Q. Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is gone or not in 22,000 parts of the day. Q. Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is not gone or not in anything. There, indeed, these 25 kinds of shadows are established, such as -
1. Pillar-shadow 2. Rope-shadow 3. Gate-shadow 4. Passage-shadow 5. Rising-shadow 6. Height-shadow 7. Consequent-shadow 8. Antecedent-shadow 9. Beginning-shadow 10. Following-shadow 11. Equal-shadow...
1. Thus, if, in this way, the 'half-pौरुषी' shadow, of the measure of half a man, is thrown, thrown, the question, the question-thread, should be seen.
- Surya. Commentary. 2. 'Day-part', by increasing the day-part one by one, compared to the previous, previous thread, the calculation, the answer-thread, should be known.
- Surya. Commentary. 3. Here, the question-answer marked here is corrected according to the information of the brief reading given here. In the four copies of the Surya-prajnapti, '1 A.S. | 2 Sha.S. | 3 A.Su. | 4 H.Gr.', how much are the question-answers given there contrary to the information of the brief reading given here? The reader should decide this himself. Q. 'Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is gone or not in 1900 parts of the day. Q. Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is gone or not in 22,000 parts of the day. Q. Then, the 67.5-pौरुषी, is the shadow gone or not? A. Then, it is not gone or not in anything. (a) Here, it seems that there is a reversal in these question-answers. First, there is the question-answer of the 67.5-pौरुषी shadow. The second question-answer is of the 67.5-pौरुषी shadow. The third question-answer is of some more 67.5-pौरुषी shadow. (b) Here, the answer is not in accordance with the questions. In the first question-answer - 'The 67.5-pौरुषी shadow is produced from 119 parts of the day' is assumed, but according to the information of the brief reading text, it is produced from 120 days.
In the second question-answer - the production of the 67.5-pौरुषी shadow is from 22,000 parts of the day - is assumed, but this assumption is completely irrelevant, because in the commentary of the information text of the brief reading, there is only the indication of increasing one day-part by one.
In the third question-answer - the question itself is irrelevant, because in the information text of the brief reading, if there is a question related to the half-pौरुषी shadow, then the answer-thread said here is true.
