The chariot of the moon has three wheels. His horses have the lustre of Kunda (white jasmine) flowers. They are yoked to the left as well as to the right and are ten in number. In that chariot, the moon traverses the constel¬ lations supported in Vithi (the path of the firmament) like the sun (traversing the planets). O leading Brahmanas, its increase and decrease are ever dependent on Dhruva. (v.l. are remembered in the same manner as the rays of the sun.) 292 Kurma Pur ana
