Bhīṣma 3. 14 states : 'Mars is retrograde in Maghā.' What is the meaning of this ? Literally it means that Mars was in Maghā and was retrograde in motion. Mr. Karandikar holds that Mars had only \*dṛṣṭi\* on Maghā and was in Puṣya. Supposing this is correct, Mars was not near the Sun but far away. - [Previous: v4.c63.t2.782](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v4.c63.t2.782) - [Next: v4.c63.t2.784](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v4.c63.t2.784) - [Up: v4.c63.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v4.c63.t2) ## Cites (1) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.5.143.9) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v4.c63.t2.783](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v4.c63.t2.783) · Pramāṇa
