c7.s2.27

In the 10th pāhuḍa and in most of the following it is no longer the sun but the moon and the stars that are dominant. We, therefore, venture to assume that it was here where the Caṇḍapaṇṇatti, the so-called 7th Uvaṅga, came in. All we know of it from manuscripts apart from differences in spelling is identical with the Sūrapannatti.¹ Pāh. 10 has 22 p.-pāhuḍa. They contain the list (āvaliyā) of the 28 nakṣatras (5 pad.) according to its begining and end; the duration of their conjunction (joga) with the moon; the portions (bhāga) of day or night when the conjunction starts; the moment when it starts; (5.) the narrower or wider relationship (kula, uvakula, kulvakuḷa) of the nakṣatras with the months; the days of full and new moon in their relation to the kula, etc.; the shape (saṃṭhii) of every individual nakṣatra; the number of their stars (tār’agga); (10). the nakṣatras as guides (netā)² of the months and as the measures of the shadow casted in them by the sun; the position of the nakṣatras to the course of the moon (caṇḍa-magga) and the orbit of the moon during 15 days (c.-maṇḍala); void of n. or not; the gods of the nakṣatras (Bambha-devayā, Viṇhu-d.,etc.);the names of the 30 muhutta; the names of the 15 days and nights of a half-month; (15.) the 5 names recurring three times, of the 15 tithis and their nights; the gotras, of the n. (Moggallāyaṇa, Saṅkhāyaṇa, etc.); the food conducive to trade affairs under a certain n.; the frequency of a conjunction of a n. with moon and son (caṇḍa-cāra and āicca-c.) in the course of the 5 years’ Yuga; the names of the 12 months; (20.) the 5 kinds of years and their sub-species; the gates of the nakṣatras (joisassa dārā), 7 of each opening into a cardinal direction (5 pad.); and, finally (nakhatta-vijaya) the duplicity of sun, moon, and n., their junction with the 62 full moon-and new moon-days in one Yuga, the coincidence of the movements of the 2 moons, 2 suns, etc. 11. The beginning of each of the 5 years of a Yuga. 12. The 5 kinds of years forming the sub-species of one of the 5 years treated in 10, 20; the 6 seasons, the omaratta and 6 airatta, i.e. missing and surplus days; the 5 solstices in a Yuga in their relation to nakṣatra and moon, the tenfold joga. 13. Both the waxing and the waning of the moon, full and new moon, the circles formed by her movement. 14. The bright and dark halves of the month (dosiṇā-pakkha and andhakāra-p.). 15. The velocity of moon, sun, planets, nakṣatras, stars, both relative and absolute. Circles formed by moon and sun both during 1 day and 1 month. 16. canda-lessā and dosiṇā, sūra-l. and āyapa, andhakāra and chāyā are homonymous pairs. 17. For the change of existence (cayaṇbovavāya) of the gods embodied in moons and suns there is no fixed time (25 paḍ. as in pāh. 6), but each of these gods is bound to live his or her time as destined by his or her Karman. 18. The altitude of the stars¹ above the earth (§ 126) (25 paḍ.,) though this altitude does not concern the moral level of their resp. gods. Their attendance and the latter's distance from the Mandara. The innermost, outermost, topmost and lowest nakṣatra relative to the Jambuddīva (Abhii, Mūla, Sāī, Bharaṇī): The shape, the size, and the tractative power (vimāṇa) of the star-gods. The velocity of the stars (as in 15), their power (iddhi), their mutual distance, their princely life, their duration, their relative number. 19. The number (12 paḍ.) of the stars above the human world, with 40 Gāhās mentioning Rāhu as the originator of the moon's waxing and waning, their normal course, their shape, the vacancy of a seat. The fixed stars beyond the human world. The remote ring-continents and -oceans, and the stars above them. 20. Moons and suns are powerful gods (2 paḍ.), and so is Rāhu (2 paḍ.); his 15 names, his vimāṇa, his doings, his twin character as dhuva-R. and pavva-R. The names of sasi and āicca of moon and sun, their princely life. The 88 mahaggaha.
