भगवती सूत्रम् सः ८ उ: ८
A. 270. Gautama ! At the time of rising, they look near though afar because of the radiation of the rays of the two suns; at midday, they look afar though near because of the heat of their rays ; at the time of setting, again, they look near though afar because of the radiation of their rays. Hence it is so.
