60. Question: What is the form of the celestial deities and Rahu, Ketu's planes and how many rays do they have? Answer: Just as if two halves of a sphere are placed upright, the wider part is above and the narrow round part is below, in the same way, the planes of the celestial deities are situated like an upright hemisphere. Only the lower circular part of the planes is visible to us. The planes of the celestial deities are terrestrial.
Rahu's plane moves below the moon's plane and Ketu's plane moves below the sun's plane. Every six months, at the end of the fortnight, i.e., at the end of the full moon and new moon, Rahu covers the moon and Ketu covers the sun, this is called an eclipse. The moon's rays are twelve thousand in number and are cool. The sun's rays are also twelve thousand, but they are sharp (hot). Venus's rays are two thousand five hundred, they are intense, i.e., bright with light. The rays of the remaining celestial deities are dim.
