The time taken in this round is sixty muhūrtas or two days and nights (ahorātra). There are two suns in the continent of Jambū, according to Jaina tradition. Both the suns rise on alternate day. Thus, the same sun rises on the third day. B. Agrodaka: The velā of ocean Lavana is sixteen thousand yojana high. Above that Jalaśikhā of the length of four miles (two gavyūti) high and low is called agrodaka. C.
