The Sun god: • The sun is situated (vertically) in the middle of the universe, in the

area between Bhürloka and Bhuvarloka, which is called antarikña (measuring 200,000 yojanas), outer space.

• The distance between the Sun and the circumference of the universe (above and below) is 250 Million Yojanas

• The sun is known as Märtaëòa because he entered the unconscious universe. (Märtaëòa - He who entered the dead universe)

• He is called Hiraëyagarbha because he is the very existence of the universe called Hiraëyäëòa, the golden egg.

• He is the totality of jévas with subtle covering Hiraëyagarbha. • The directions, sky, heavens, earth and other divisions, as well the

places of enjoyment, liberation and hell, such as Atala, are all differentiated by the sun (süryeëa hi vibhajyante).

• He is called as “dåg-éçvaraù” for he is the eye and life of all living beings, of devatäs, animals, humans, reptiles and plants.

SB 5.21-22: The Movements of the Sun, Moon and Other Planets

Bhü-maëòala with Different Divisions

Description of Sun-god’s Chariot: • The chariot of the sun-god has only one wheel. • One side of the axle (L: 15,750,000 yojanas) carrying the wheel

rests upon the summit of Mount Sumeru (It is fixed on the lower portion of Meru), and the other rests upon Mänasottara Mountain.

• Affixed to the outer end of the axle, the wheel continuously rotates on Mänasottara Mountain like the wheel of an oil-pressing machine

• As in an oil-pressing machine, the first axle is attached to a second axle, which is one fourth as long (3,937,500 yojanas).

• The second axle is bound to the first exactly opposite to the salt water ocean.

• The upper end of this second axle is attached to Dhruvaloka by a rope of wind.


Description of Sun-god’s Chariot:


Description of Sun-god’s Chariot: • According to Çrédhara Svämé the Sun’s chariot rotates on

Mänasottara Mountain at a height of 50,000 yojanas on a surface made flat by the wind.

• Total height up-to chariot wheel: 10,000 + 50,000 = 60,000 yojanas. • The sun god is situated in the enclosure at a place 40,000 yojanas

above the wheel. • Total height up-to Sun god: 60,000 + 40,000 = 100,000 yojanas.

Description of Sun-god’s Chariot: • The length of sun-god's chariot is 3.6MY, and width is 0.9MY (one

fourth of length). • The horses, which are named after Gäyatré and other Vedic meters,

are harnessed by Aruëadeva to a yoke which is 0.9MY wide. This chariot continuously carries the sun-god.

• Though Aruëa sits in front and is engaged in driving the chariot and controlling the horses, he looks backward toward the sun-god.

• Sixty thousand sages named Välikhilyas, each the size of a thumb, located in front of the sun-god, offer him eloquent prayers.

• Sages, Gandharvas, Apsaräs, Nägas, Yakñas, Räkñasas and Devatäs in groups continuously worship the Supreme Lord as Sürya.


Description of Sun-god’s Chariot:


The Moon god: • The moon is situated 100,000 yojanas above the rays of the sun. • The moon with its waxing and waning phases, creates day & night

for the devatäs and night & day for the pitås respectively. • Waxing phase (sukla paksa): Day - devatäs & Night - pitås • Waning phase (kåsna paksa): Day - pitås & Night – devatäs • This means the waxing phase is suitable for worship of devatäs and

the waning phase is suitable for worship of Pitås. • sarva-jéva-nivaha-präëo : The moon is the life of all beings because

it produces food in the form of plants. Thus he called life itself. • annaà hi präëinäà präëäù: food is the life of all beings. • Jéva: The moon is called jévaù because it is made of immortal nectar

necessary for living. He is the chief living being within the universe.


The Moon god: • The moon composed of sixteen phases (ñoòaça-kalaù) described as

the Supreme Lord (puruño bhagavän), the mind (manomaya), food (annamaya, nectar (amåtamaya), and the life of devatäs, Pitås, humans, ghosts, animals, birds and reptiles and to be all-pervading (sarvamaya), since it is the cause of all life.

• deva-pitå-manuñya-bhüta-paçu-pakñi-sarésåpa-vérudhäà präëa • Moon is called manomayaù because it is the presiding deity of mind. • Supporting the life of all beings, the Moon passes through one

constellation in thirty muhürtas (one day).


The Constellations or Nakñaträs: • The constellations, twenty-eight in number with Abhijit, are being

inspired by the Lord move in clockwise direction around the Mout Meru on the wheel of time at a distance of 300,000 yojanas above the Moon.

• They do not have a different motion, but move clockwise along with the Time wheel.

• Each constellation is consisting of four daëòas or four padas. • Abhijit constellation is composed of the last part of Äñäòhä and the

first part of Çravaëä constellations.

planets ~ Dolphin) • SB 5.23.8-9: Mantra to worship Sisumara and the Result

SB 5.23. The Çiçumära Planetary Systems

The Çiçumära Planetary Systems • This great machine, consisting of the stars and planets,

resembles the form of a çiçumära [dolphin] in the water. • It is sometimes considered an incarnation of Kåñëa,

Väsudeva. Therefore some yogés contemplate this imaginary çiçumära to be swimming in the sky the way a dolphin swims in water.

• They meditate upon it as the viräö-rüpa, the gigantic form of the SPOG, because it is actually visible.

• Thus they describe this zodiac belt (Jyotir-anékam) to be the form of a dolphin, and worship it as Väsudeva in meditation.


The Çiçumära Planetary Systems • This form of the çiçumära has its head downward and its

body coiled. The coiled body of the dolphin turns toward the right side.

• Its body is balanced because its two sides are occupied by an equal number of stars, i.e. fourteen on either side.

• Çiçumära should be considered as Lord Viñëu’s external form.

• This Çiçumära-cakra is the resting place of all the demigods and all the stars and the planets.

SB 5.25. The Glories of Lord Ananta • Anantadeva, holder of the earth, the source of Rudra who destroys

the universe, an expansion of the Supreme Lord. • Called tamasé because he is the supervisor of destruction, an activity

of tamas, but he is not a form composed of tamas. • He is Saìkarñaëa because He draws together the enjoyer and the

object to be enjoyed, characterized by the conception of “I.” • Devotees meditate upon Him as the presiding deity of ahaìkära in

order to become purified of the false conception of I and mine. • This universe / kñiti-maëòalaà, situated on one of Lord Ananta's

thousands of hoods, appears just like a white mustard seed. • When Ananta desires to destroy the entire creation, from between

his two moving eyebrows appears three-eyed Rudra, composed of anger, with eleven expansions, carrying a raised trident.

• The independent Supreme Lord Ananta, possessing unlimited powers and great qualities, situated below the lower planets, easily supports the earth (kñmäm) for its continued existence.

SB 5.26. A Description of Hellish Planets Pitås: • A sectoion of Pitås headed by Agiñvättäs reside beneath the 7 lower

planets, desiring virtuous blessings for their family members by great concentration on the Lord.

• There, the king of the Pitås, s/o Vaivasvata, Yamaräja, along with his followers, in obedience to the orders of the Lord, awards unavoidable punishment for sin.

• This punishment is awarded according to the action performed by the living beings who have been brought to his place after death by his servants.

• By such frightening experience he makes the jévas turn towards the Lord.

SB 5.26. A Description of Hellish Planets The Hellish Planets: • These are situated in the intermediate space b/w the 3-worlds and the

Garbhodaka Ocean. • They lie on the southern side of the universe, beneath the seven lower

planets, and slightly above the water of the Garbhodaka Ocean. Science behind the Hellish Planets: • Because of the faith of the doer arising from the three guëas, different

varieties of destinations for different varieties of actions appear. • All these varieties of destinations appear for all people in proportion to

the guëas and the acts of adharma and dharma. • By acting impiously one achieves different positions in hellish life. • The destinations for performing acts out of desire caused by

beginningless ignorance are merely transformations of those desires, with thousands of varieties (known as hells).

• In the kingdom of Yamaräja there are hundreds and thousands of hellish planets (places of pain for the living entities), among them twenty-eight hells are prominent.

Part3: The Movement of the Planets – Vedic Planetarium

TRANSFORMATION

The Orbits of the Upper, Middle and Lower Planets:

SB 5.23.2-3: Just as bulls yoked together and tied to a central post to thresh rice tread around that pivot without deviating from their proper positions, so all the planets and luminaries, fixed in the zodiac, revolve around the polestar in their respective orbits, some higher and some lower, till the end of the kalpa, propelled by wind (dakñiëävarta praväha or wind).

• Just as clouds or eagles, controlled by the wind, pushed by karma, move about in the sky, so the planets, supported by matter and the Lord, and moving by their past karmas, do not fall to the ground.

• The planets are fixed at lower and higher (antar-bahir-yogena) positions in the zodiac belt and move in clockwise direction keeping Mount Meru and Polestar to their right, being turned by the parvartaka-pravaha wind.


The Orbits of the Upper, Middle and Lower Planets: • “Why do they not fall from the sky?” Just as clouds float in the sky, the

planets also float in the sky being assisted by karma (Karma-särathayaù). • The Polestar, established by the Lord, which is the pivot of all the

luminaries, planets and constellations, which are made to rotate constantly around it by the inconceivable force of the Lord’s time energy, shines constantly, without being moved by the wheel of time (zodiac).


Zodiac Belt (kälacakra-gata): SB 5.22.3-5: The original cause of the cosmic manifestation, the

Supreme Lord, Näräyaëa, divided Himself into twelve forms and six seasons for purifying the activities of the people, and he arranged the qualities of the seasons for enjoyment according to their karma.

• This form of the Lord is known as kälacakra-gata or Time-wheel, in which the Chariot of Sun travels in a orbit known as samvatsara.

• This wheel has twelve spokes, six rims, and three hubs. • The twelve spokes are 12 months, the six rims are 6 seasons & the

three hubs are the 3 sets of four months or the seasons corresponding to Uttaräyana, Visuväyana and Daksinäyana.

• The sun, soul of worlds, situated in the zodiac belt in the antarikña between heaven and earth, enjoys twelve months, indicated by the names of zodiac signs, which are limbs of the year.

• This means through time the Supreme Lord regulates our actions and the experience of different seasons.



The Constellations or Nakñaträs: • The constellations, twenty-eight in number with Abhijit, are being

inspired by the Lord move in Clockwise direction around Mout Meru on the wheel of time at a distance of 0.3MY above the moon.

• They do not have a different motion, but move clockwise along with the Time wheel.

• Abhijit constellation is composed of the last part of Äñäòhä and the first part of Çravaëä constellations.

• Each constellation is consisting of four daëòas or four padas. • A brief description of the 27 / 28 Constallations in the Zodiac Belt

and their position in the Çiçumära Planetary Systems is given below:

SB 5.21.3-11: Movement of Sun through the zodiac, its rising & setting

• Situated in the middle of the antarékña, the sun, master of heat, heats up and lights up the three worlds by its light.

• The circumference of the Mänasottara Mountain on which the Sun revolves is about 95.1MY (2* pi*R ~= 2*3*15.85 MY = 95.1 MY).

• Radius of Mänasottara is 15.75MY. The path of the sun’s chariot is 0.2MY wide. Thus the radius till the middle of Sun’s path: 15.85MY


SB 5.21.7-12: Understanding the movement of Sun: • From Devadhäné, the residence of Indra, in the east, the

sun travels to Saàyamané, the residence of Yamaräja, (in south) then to Nimlocané, the residence of Varuëa (in west), from there to Vibhävaré, the residence of the moon-god (in north), and from there again to the residence of Indra (in East).

• In a similar way, the moon, along with the other stars and planets, becomes visible in the zodiac belt and then sets.

• The chariot of the sun-god, meant for worship, travels through the four residences in his orbit through a circumference of 95.1MY on the circle of the earth above Mänasottara Mountain continuously.

SB 5.21-22: The Movements of the Sun, Moon and Other Planets SB 5.21.7-12: The perception of Day & Night • When the Sun is in the Eastern direction of Meru, then those who reside on the South of

Meru perceive Sunrise, on West Midnight, on the East Midday and on North Sunset. • When it rises (First sight of the sun) in one city, it sets at the city diametrically opposite. • When it shines with perspiration at noon, it is midnight at the city diametrically opposite. • Those who see the sun set and rise do not see where it has gone in the interim. • For the people on top of the Meru, the sun give heat at all times (around 6 months), being

situated at midday.

SB 5.22.1-2: Understanding the movement of Sun w.r.t. the Time-wheel • The Sun-god proceeds with Sumeru and Dhruvaloka on both his left

and right simultaneously: How? • Just as the motion of ants on a potter’s wheel moving in the opposite

direction from the rotation of the wheel is different from that of the wheel

• The motion of the planets and sun moving with Time-wheel (in CWD) around Meru and Dhruva as seen by the stars is different from the movement of the wheel of time, since they can be observed moving in different constellations and zodiac signs (in the opposite direction).

• Though the sun keeps Meru on its left (savyena) with relation to the moving constellations, being turned by the parvartaka-pravaha wind, he keeps Meru to his right on a daily basis, under the control of zodiac belt.

• Being forced by wind blowing to the right (from purva to daksina), the sun moves to the right (SB 5.21.8-9).

SB 5.21.8-9: Though the sun moves from east to west in the sky from our point of view, in relation to the zodiac and other stars, the sun appears to move from Aries to Taurus, & to other signs in the opposite direction. Thus the sun can be said to moving CCW as well as CW.

SB 5.22.5-7: Calculation of Day-Night, Months, Seasons and Years • One month is two fortnights by lunar calculation, which is a day

and night for the Pitås (27 to 29.5 days), or the time it takes the sun to pass through one Zodiac sign or two and a quarter constellations (29 to 31 days).

• Passing two months Sun enjoys a season. Similarly passing through 12 months the sun enjoys 6 seasons (or 1 year).

• The time to move over half the zodiac belt is called an ayana (a period of six months).

• Thus being situated in the zodiac belt (käla-cakra-gataù) between heaven and earth in the antarikña (nabho-valayasya) the Sun enjoys months and seasons.

• The moon, situated 100,000 yojanas above the rays of the sun, moving with quicker speed, covers the sun’s year in two fortnights, its month in two and half days and its fortnight in one day. The Moon is composed of sixteen phases in total.

SB 5.22.7: Orbital Years of Different Planets: The time it takes for the sun to pass completely through the antarikña along with

earth plane and heavenly planes, with slow, quick and medium speeds, is called saàvatsara, parivatsara, iòävatsa, anuvatsara, and vatsara.

SB 3.11.14: Definition of Orbital Years of Different Planets saàvatsaraù parivatsara iòä-vatsara eva ca

anuvatsaro vatsaraç ca viduraivaà prabhäñyate The sun’s full revolution through the zodiac belt is called a saàvatsara. The full

revolution of Jupiter through the zodiac is called parivatsara. The year for twenty-seven constellations is called a vatsara. The lunar year is called an anuvatsara. The remaining constellations have a year called idä-vatsara.

Name of the orbit Time period in terms of Earthly Calculations Samvatsara 1 year of Sun One year for the sun is called a saàvatsara (365.25 days) Parivatsara 1 year of Brhaspati

(Jupiter) One year for Jupiter is called a parivatsara (11.87 years): 11.87 years or 12*360 days (4320days).

Anuvatsara 1 year of Moon 327.6 days = 27.3*12 (A lunar year is twelve lunar months from full moon to full moon: 12*29.59 = 355 days)

Vatsara 12 months of 27 Constellations

324 days: Since there is no separate orbital motion, their time is measured using the moon’s movements (12*27 days)

Idä-vatsara 1 year of Stars or Other Constellations

Because of there is no measuring system in relation to the remaining constellations, they have a year called idä-vatsara with solar months of thirty days (total of 12*30 = 360 days)

Understanding of Uttarayana, Daksinayana and Eclipses: • SB 5.24.2: The sun globe, which is a source of heat, extends for

10,000 yojanas. The moon extends for 20,000 yojanas, and Rāhu extends for 30,000 yojanas.

• This extension of sun globe by 10,000 yojanas causes uttarayana, daksinayana and visuvayana (line of equator).

• SB 5.24.1-3: Formerly, when nectar was being distributed, Rāhu tried to create dissension between the sun and moon by interposing himself between them.

• SB 5.24.1-3: Rāhu is inimical toward both the sun and the moon, and therefore he always tries to cover the sunshine and moonshine on the dark-moon day and full-moon night. This is called as Eclipse.

SUN

SB 5.21-24: The Movements of the Sun, Moon and Other Planets Understanding of Uttarayana, Daksinayana and Eclipses:

KALA CAKRA - THE TIME WHEEL (242 - 256) • SB clearly points out how the Time Wheel is lifted and lowered when it

speaks of ‘Udagayana, Daksinayana & Vaisuvadayana’. • Vishuvad rekha means the Equator. This also suggests that Bharata

Khanda is indeed globular in shape. • The same SB Canto 5 tells us about the extensions of 'Candra mandala'

and 'Rahu mandala' saying that the extension in the case of the Sun, Moon & Rahu are 10,000, 20,000 & 30,000 yojanas respectively.

• The extension of the sun's course is 5000 yojanas to the north of the celestial Equator and 5000 yojanas to the south of it.

• Similarly, to keep pace with the sun in the northern and the southern courses, the extension of the moon's course is 10,000 yojanas up and 10,000 yojanas down, and the extension of Rahu's course is 15,000 north and 15,000 south. (Some say it is 20,000 and 20,000 - 'dviguna').

• Apart from the annual northern and southern courses, the moon has also northern and southern courses every fortnight. This may be seen by any one by observing the moon's position in the sky night after night.


• To make daylight in the other part of the universe, he followed the orbit of the sun-god on a brilliant chariot in seven circles for one year.

• He had seven chariots each with one wheel, by the power of his yoga.

• He made larger and larger chariots in succession, each one twice the size of the previous one, traveling higher and higher so that the inhabitants of his city in Äryävarta could see his chariot even at a great distance.

• Because the wheels of each chariot were broader than the previous ones, the oceans were successively broader.

• He rode in each of these seven chariots for 25 days and 45.5 ghaöikas each (totaling half a year: 25.76*7 = 180.3 days), starting with the summer equinox (Karka sankranti, July), with the sun gradually descending until Pauña month (Jan).

SB 5.1.31PP SVCT: Troughs created by Priyavrata’s chariot wheels produced seven oceans, from which seven continents were formed

• Then again starting from the winter equinox (Makara sankranti, Jan), he would travel until the cycle was completed, with the same number of days fixed, but with the opposite order of chariots, with the sun gradually ascending until Añaòha month (July).

• As the sun traveled around Meru clockwise along with the dependent zodiac, it gradually increased in speed, and thus: – the days after the summer equinox (Karka sankranti, July)

become shorter each month, and from – the winter equinox (Makara sankranti, Jan) the sun gradually

slowed down and the days become longer. • “Seven times” in the previous verse means that he traveled in seven

chariots in the manner described above.

SB 5.1.31PP SVCT: Troughs created by Priyavrata’s chariot wheels produced seven oceans, from which seven continents were formed

Linga Purana - Chapter 2 (Adhyaya 54), text 12-14 • As the Sun’s chariot moves in orbits, during Daksinayana, the two

ropes held by Dhruva are loosened and they become longer. During Uttarayana, Dhruva pulls the ropes up and they become shorter. Thus the chariot is dragged into the inner tracks.

• There are 180 circles between the two extreme ends (between the north and south).

• During Uttarayana: (Day after day for 180 days) – Radious of the Orbit (r): Decreases; – Circumference of the Orbit (2πr): Decreases; – Speed of the Sun (2πr/24hours): Decreases;

• During Daksinayana: (Day after day for 180 days) – Radious of the Orbit (r): Increases; – Circumference of the Orbit (2πr): Increases; – Speed of the Sun (2πr/24hours): Increases;

References From Puranic cosmology

Vishnu Purana – Chapter 9 (Amsa 2; Adhyaya 10), text 1 & PP by Sridhara Svami

• There are 180 circular paths the Sun traverses in a year between the two directions.

• There are 180 orbits b/w the north and the south which the Sun covers during a year by his elevated and inclined rate of movement.

• When Dhruva pulls the two ropes tied to the end of the yoke during Uttarayana, every day the Sun moves toward the inner orbit which is elevated more than the previous one.

• During Daksinayana, when Dhruva loosens the two ropes, every day the sun slips into the outer orbit which is inclined to the previous orbit. This is stated in the Matsya Purana.

• During Uttarayana Period: – Track radius gradually decreases daily -> chariot's speed decreases daily

• During Daksinayana Period: – Track radius gradually increases daily -> chariot's speed increases daily

References From Puranic cosmology

References From Puranic cosmology Vayu Purana – Chapter 16 (Adhyaya 50), text 122-140 • As the Sun reaches the end of southern course (far end of

Daksinayana) by the month of Magha (Jan), he covers 94.5MY during a Day. Then the diameter of his orbit is 31.5MY (R: 15.75MY)

• When he starts his northern course and comes to Vishuva (the equinox points: April & Oct), he moves in the north side of the milk ocean, in a circle of diameter equal to 38.1MY

• When he reaches the maximum point in the north during his stay in Sravana (Julay), he will be moving in the northern regions of the sixth island Sakadvipa. Then the diameter of his orbit is 23.8MY (R: 11.9MY)

• The distance b/w the tracks (180) to the extreme north and extreme south is 0.343MY

• The distance b/w the extreme points and lekhas both in the south and north is 7.175MY

References From Puranic cosmology Vayu Purana – Chapter 16 (Adhyaya 50), text 122-140, 189-204 • The Sun always moves in the inner circles during Uttarayana and

outer circles during Daksinayana, with a magnitude of 21,221 yojanas each in diameter.

• 189-194: The Sun will be on the Vishuvata peak on the day of equinoxes, thus rendering both day and night equal.

• 195-197: On the day of equinoxes, at the end of Mesa (April) and Tula (Oct) months, both the day and night will be 15 muhurtas each.

• When Surya is in the 1st quarter of Krttika (Mesa), Chandra will be in the last quarter of Vishaka. When Surya is in Vishaka (Tula), 3rd quarter, Chandra will be in the 4th quarter of Krttika.

• 201-202: Uttarayana: Magha – Ashada; Dakshinayana: Shravana – Pusha.

• 203-204: The Vishuva is common to all the Places, Islands and Varsas.

SB 5.21.3-6: Movement of sun through Uttaräyaëa & Dakñiëäyana • During uttaräyaëa, by slow speed while ascending in the sky and

passing time, the sun moves through six zodiac signs starting from Capricorn, making the days gradually longer and the nights shorter.

• Uttrayana: Capricorn (Makara) to Gemini (Mithuna) - the duration of the days increases every month

• During dakñiëäyana, moving with quick speed and descending, the sun moves through six zodiac signs starting from Cancer, making the days shorter and the nights longer.

• Daksinayana: Cancer (Karkataka) to Sagittarius (Dhanur) - the duration of the days decreases every month

• By moving at medium speed during the equinox periods with days and nights equal, the sun moves through Aries and Libra.

• Complete equality will only take place on one day & night of a year.



SB 5.21.3-6: Movement of sun through uttaräyaëa & dakñiëäyana • When the sun moves in Taurus and the 5 following signs, the days

increase in length (Taurus, Gemini, & Cancer) and then decrease every month (Leo, Virgo, & Libra) by a ghaöikä (24 minutes)

• While passing through 5 signs beginning with Scorpio, the duration of the days decreases until Capricorn (Scorpio, Sagittarious & Capricorn), and then gradually increases (Acquarious, Pisces, & Aries) until day & night become equal in Aries

• Until the sun travels on the southern course (Capricorn, Acquarious, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini) the days grow longer

• Until it travels to the northern course (Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarious), the nights grow longer.

Earth’s Axis of Rotation: The tilt of the earth (23.5º from the perpendicular) significantly affects the weather for the following reasons - The Equator receives more concentrated solar energy than the poles. As one moves from the equator towards the poles, the angle of the sun becomes lower meaning less solar energy is received for a given area. In addition, ice and snow at the poles reflect a lot of energy Earths seasons: During the earth’s one year cycle around the Sun, those locations tilted towards the Sun experience summer whilst those tilted away winter.

SB 5.20-26: Conclusion

SB 5.26.37: Living entities movement from hell to heaven to earth:-

• The impious people must enter into various hellish planets according to the degree of their sin.

• The pious enter into Svarga according to the degree of their piety.

• But both the pious and impious are again brought to earth (Bhärata-varña), by the remaining results of dharma and adharma.

• Again they come to earth, since this is the place where dharma and adharma accrue and Liberation is achieved.

SB 5.20-26: Phala-sruti

SB 5.26.38: Result of hearing and speaking about Universal form: • If one reads the description of Lord’s external form with great

faith, or if one hears about it or explains it to others, he develops faith, bhakti, pure intelligence, and understand the topic of the Supreme Lord, which is like an Upaniñad, difficult to understand.

• After hearing about the gross and subtle forms of the Lord, the renunciate, just as he leads the controlled mind by the intelligence to Lord’s gross form, leads the mind to subtle form of the Lord.

• This amazing gross body of the Lord, consisting earth, islands, varñas, rivers, mountains, sky and oceans, the lower planetary systems, the directions, the hellish planetary systems and the luminaries, is the shelter of all the living entities.
