2. Suka said:— When the potter's wheel is in motion, the course of ants and other living things moving on it is quite different as they are seen to be at different places on that wheel; similarly when the _Kalachakra_ (the Solar system) comprising constellations of stars moves (as a whole) in great velocity with Dhruva and Meru on its right, the motion of the Sun and other planets depending upon _it_, while it moves in great velocity, is also different, as they are observed in conjunction with different constellations and signs (at different points of time).
