The third Prabhrita, the field of the moon and sun's **Oobhas** (radiance), the field of **Ujjoy** (illumination), the field of **Tav** (heat), and the field of **Pagas** (light).
24. P. - What are the fields where the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas**? Please tell me.
U. - There are twelve **Pativvatti** (interpretations) as follows:
1. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on one island and one ocean.
2. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on three islands and three oceans.
3. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on half of four islands and half of four oceans.
4. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on seven islands and seven oceans.
5. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on ten islands and ten oceans.
6. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on twelve islands and twelve oceans.
7. Some say that the moon and sun **Oobhas**, **Ujjoy**, **Tav**, and **Pagas** on forty-two islands and forty-two oceans.
1. **Avabhasayanti** (illuminate), **Avabhaso** (illumination) is also used for knowledge, therefore, to differentiate, it is said **Udyotayanti** (radiate). **Udyoto** (radiation) is known in the world with different meanings, like **Atap** (sunlight) for the sun and **Prakash** (light) for the moon. However, the word **Atap** is also used for the moon's light, as it is said "**Chandrika** (moonlight), **Kaumudi** (moonlight), **Jyothsna** (moonlight), and **Chandragata** (moonlight)". Similarly, the word **Prakash** is also used for the sun's light. This is understood by many, therefore, to understand the meaning, both words are used together, which have the same meaning. **Tapayanti** (heat) and **Prakashayanti** (illuminate) are the verbs.
