Sutra 85
How many mandalas does the Moon traverse in a Nakshatra month?
The Moon traverses 13 mandalas and 13/67 parts in a Nakshatra month. The reason for this is that there are 67 Nakshatra months in a Yuga. The lunar mandala is 884. In 67 Nakshatra months, the Moon traverses 884 lunar mandalas. How many mandalas does it traverse in one Nakshatra month?
884 / 67 = 13 mandalas and 13/67 parts.
How many mandalas does the Sun traverse in a Nakshatra month? It traverses 13 mandalas and 44/67 parts.
If the Sun traverses 915 solar mandalas in 67 Nakshatra months of a Yuga, how many mandalas does it traverse in one month?
915 / 67 = 13 mandalas and 44/67 parts.
How many mandalas does a Nakshatra traverse in a Nakshatra month? It traverses 1835 ardhamandalas in 67 Nakshatra months of a Yuga. 1835 / 67 = 27 ardhamandalas and 26/67 parts. Upon dividing them by 2 to form mandalas, we get 1835 / 2 = 13 16/67 mandalas.
How many mandalas does the Moon traverse in a Chandra month? It traverses 884 mandalas in 124 parvas. How many mandalas does it traverse in 2 parvas?
248 / 884 = 1768 / 124 = 124 / 124 = 144
14 mandalas and 32/124 parts of the fifteenth mandala.
How many mandalas does the Sun traverse in a Chandra month? One-fourth less than 15 mandalas and one part of 124 parts. 14 mandalas and 94/124 parts of the fifteenth mandala. How is this so?| SR No. | 003459 |
