This is 31,03,300 yôjanas. Now hear of this distance along the course, south and north of the equator. Such distance between the ecliptics and the equators in the centre is 1,025 yôjanas (_i.e._, between the solstices and the equator). The sun travelling north and south of the (equatorial) line has a course of 8,000 maṇḍalas during Uttarâyaṇa; but its southern course, called also the outward course, is similarly traversed by the sun.—61-66.
