[ Surya Prajnapti Sutra.
2. U. In the Mrigashira constellation, the charan moves outside everything. 3. U. In the Saayi constellation, the charan moves above everything.
4. U. In the Bharani constellation, the charan moves inside everything. The arrangement of the Chandra-Surya-Graha-Nakshatra Vimana is 94. P. What is the arrangement of the Chandra Vimana? U. It is arranged in the form of an Ardha-Kavitthaga, with all the sides falling in the form of an Abhhuga-Yamusya-Pahasiya, adorned with various jewels and precious stones, with Y-Vijay-Vejayanti-Padaga flags and umbrellas, rising high above the sky, with a net of jewels and a cage of jewels, with a lotus-like arrangement of jewels, with a white-colored moon-like appearance, inside and outside, with a beautiful appearance, with a beautiful appearance, with a beautiful appearance. Similarly, the Surya Vimana, the Graha Vimana, the Nakshatra Vimana, and the Tara Vimana.
'Sarvabahya-Sarvato Nakshatramandalikaaya Bahischcharam Charati'. 'Although the Mrigashira and other constellations, which are the charans of the fifteen mandalas, are said to be two stars each in the middle of the four stars of Purvashadha and Uttarashadha, yet this is said to be Sarvabahya because it moves in the direction of the salt water, being situated outside the other constellations.' K. 'In the Jyotishchakra, which is 100 yojanas in length, the area of the constellations is 4 yojanas in length, and in relation to that, the lower and upper parts of the said constellations are to be known.' The quoted passage is from the Jambudvipa Vyakhyana 7, Sutra 165 Tika. Kh. This Sutra of the Surya Prajnapti is similar to Sutra 165 of the Jambudvipa Prajnapti. How do the Ardha-Kavitthaga houses of the Gahaos not appear in the direction of the rising moon, the Vimana of the Sun and Moon, which are situated in the horizontal plane? The Ardha-Kavitthaga house is elevated, and the platform is above it. The circular line is drawn from there, and the distance is equal in all directions. This is a special explanation given by Jinabhadra Ganikashama Shraman, with Akshapurassara. 'If the Chandra Vimana is situated in the form of an Ardha-Kavitthaga, which is half the size of a Pitthaphala, then at the time of sunrise or sunset, or if it is revolving horizontally during the full moon, why is the half-Pitthaphala shape not visible?' Because the circular shape is visible from the top of the head, because the part of the half-Pitthaphala that is far away is not visible due to its distance, it is said to be circular. Here, the half-Pitthaphala shape of the Chandra Vimana is not to be understood as a whole, but the platform of the Chandra Vimana, and above the platform is the palace of the Chandradeva, the king of the Jyotishchakra, and that palace is arranged in such a way that it becomes circular with the platform, and due to its distance, it appears to be circular to the people from a distance, so there is no fault.
