Sūta said: When there is afternoon in Āgneyī (i.e. south-east), O brahmins, it is forenoon in the south-west. When it is terrible latter half of the night in the north-west, it is the earlier part of the night in the north-east. Similarly, when the sucker of waters (i.e. the sun) moves about in the middle of Puṣkara[3] the mountain to the north of Manasa, he traverses a thirtieth part of the earth in a Muhūrta (48 mts). Understand this number in yojanas travelled in a Muhūrta.
