Notes
A. Each of the two suns of the island of Jambu has one hundred eighty four circles. Each diurnal circle covers one hundred eighty yojana. The sun on its northward course after covering one hundred eighty yojana from the Ocean Lavana towards the Jambudvipa enters the one hundred eighty fourth circle; it is called the inner most circle of the sun. It is also the first rising point of the sun and also the last day and night of the northward course.
