Bhagavai 5:1:3-13
- 193 :
In 61%, mandalas, there is decsease of 61, x2= 1 muhürtta. In this order, when there is the day-time of seventeen muhurttas, the night-time is thirteen muhürttas. When the day-time is sixteen muhurttas, the night-time is fourteen muhūrttas, when the day-time is fifteen muhurttas, the night-time is also fifteen muhūrttas, when the day time is fourteen muhurttas, the night-time is sixteen muhürttas, when the day-time is thirteen muhurttas, the night-time is seventeen muhūrttas, when the day-time is twelve muhurttas, the night-time is eighteen muhürttas. The largest day is of eighteen muhürttas and the shortest one is of twelve muhurttas. In the same order, when the shortest night is twelve muhūrttas, the longest night is eighteen muhūrttas.
According to modern belief, the length of day and night in the northern and the southern hemispheres are in reverse order—when there is the longest day in the northern hemisphere, there is the longest night in the southern hemisphere, and vice-versa. For example--in India (in northern hemisphere) when there is the day of 18 muhurttas, there is night of 18 muhurttas in Arjentina (in southern hemisphere). Semantics navi—it is a joint form of nam and avi. anamtara—when the sun enters into the mandala which is next to the innermost mandala, then the length of the day is slightly less than 18 muhurttas. This decrease in the length of day in muhürttas. Hence, the meaning of atthārasamuhūrttānamtara is a little less than 18 muhürttas. Here, the term 'anantara signifies the presence of sun in the mandala.?
1. It is revealed that the Jainian concept of mandala (diurnal circle) alludes to the notion of declination
and that a notion of spiral motion of sun and moon is also implied therein. 2. The radius of Island of Jambūdvīpa is 50,000 yojanas and that of Mount Meru is 5,000 yojanas.
Therefore, the length of the lit field is 45,000 yojanas. 3. Bha. Vị. 5.8---'atthārasamuhuttānamtare' tti yadā sarvābhyantaramandalānantare mandale varttate
