Bhagavai 5:1:28-30
What has been described about the Lavana Ocean is to be spoken now about the Kāloda Ocean also, the difference is that the name Kāloda
Ocean is to be spoken of in the place of Lavaņa Ocean. 5.29 abbhimtarapukkharaddhe nam bhamte! sūrīyā udīna-päinamuggaccha
pāīņadāhiņamäga-cchamti, jaheva dhāyasamdassa vattavvayā taheva abbhimtarapukkharaddhassa vi bhāniyavvā, nayaram abhilāvo jāņiyavvo jāva tayā ņam abbhimtarapukkharaddhe mamdarānam puratthima-paccatthime nam nevatthi osappiņi, nevatthi ussappiņī, avathie nam tattha käle pannatte samanāuso. O Lord! in the inner half of the Puşkara Island (continent) the suns rise up in the north-east and sets down in the south-west.....the description about the Dhātakīkhanda follows also in the case of the inner half of the Puşkara Island, the difference being that there is neither the ascending time-cycle nor the descending time-cycle in the east and the west of the Mount Meru in the inner half of the Puşkara Island; the time is said to be uniform there.
Bhāsya 1. Sūtras 13-30
See Bhāsya on Bha. 6.33,34 for discussion on time-units. 5.30 sevam bhamte! sevam bhamte! tti.
That is so O Lord! That is so, O Lord!
