विवेचन : चन्द्र विमान की मंद गति होने के कारण एक चन्द्रमा एक अहोरात्र १ मुहूर्त अधिक समय में अर्थात् ३१ मुहूर्त में एक अर्द्ध-मण्डल को पार करता है। एक मण्डल को पार करने में साधिक २ अहोरात्र अर्थात् ६२ मुहूत्ते से कुछ अधिक समय लगता है।
Elaboration-As the speed of moon is slow, one moon covers half the circle in one muhurat more than 24 hours-in other word in 31 muhurats. In other words it covers full circle in 62 muhurats.
