[ Surya Prajnapti Sutra
We say thus and we explain -
K - When the Sun traverses the inner circle, it traverses the Jambudvipa island, which is 100 yojanas in extent, and it traverses the entire inner circle. When it reaches the highest point, it is day for 18 muhurtas, and when it reaches the lowest point, it is night for 12 muhurtas.
Kh - When the Sun traverses the outer circle, it traverses the salt ocean, which is 330 yojanas in extent, and it traverses the entire outer circle. When it reaches the highest point, it is night for 18 muhurtas, and when it reaches the lowest point, it is day for 12 muhurtas. This is what is said in the scriptures.
