v1.c5.s2.43

The lesser cycles of days, months and years, run their course within the Adhisamvatsara, the Great Year. It is made up of 33 eclipses. The same eclipse that marks the beginning of the cycle reappears at its end, when the Sun and the Moon are set together aright as before and begin their races and the Moon will gain one year over the Sun and come in conjunction with the latter at the close of the cycle. Then the creation of the time world begins again and goes on in ever renewed cycles.³⁷
