Next, from 'At this time, the dwelling places of the sentient beings of the five destinies' downward, the destruction of the receptacle world is explained. The Qishijing says: 'Without heavenly rain and moisture, all the fruits and trees dry up. Then there is the kālī wind, which blows the eighty-four thousand [yojanas] of seawater, causing it all to disperse in the four directions. Below, it raises the second sun palace, placing it halfway up Sumeru, and so forth.' Based on this, the Hīnayāna says that the six suns revolve with their light below the ocean and only emerge at the time of destruction; currently, in the Mahāyāna, no textual statement to this effect has been seen.
