Bhagavai 6:5:70-119
- 419 :
krsnarāji are said to be black, with black appearance, grave, causing horripilation, terrifying and pitch dark in colour, on one hand; while in scientific concept, on the other hand, any stellar object or light cannot pass near the black hole. If it passes, it would fall into the pit and become absorbed in it.
The shape of krsnarāji is triangular, quadrangular or hexagonal; the tamaskāya in the beginning is a linear extension like a row of one pradeśa width and rising up it takes the shape of a cage of a cook, which means that it becomes quadrangular. From the figure given in the Vrtti, this can be inferred.
According to the scientific belief, after becoming steady, the shape of the black hole is spherical.
See-the figure of tamaskāya and krsnarāji in the appendix no. 5. For more information about tamaskāya, see, Bhagavai 14.25-27.
1. The information given here about black holes is based on A Brief History of Time by Stephen W.
Hawking, 1988 2. There exists a force of attraction between any two objects of the world; this is known as "gravitational
force". The heavier object will attract the lighter object towards it, if the difference in their masses is very big. This is why the earth attracts the objects existing on the earth towards it. For example, when anything is dropped from above, it falls down on the earth.
