Above the moon at a distance of 300,000 yojanas, inspired by the Lord, the constellations, twenty-eight in number with Abhijit, move clockwise around Meru n the wheel of time. The constellations will be 500,000 yojanas above the earth. [Note: It appears there is discrepancy in some versions, but Viśvanātha says three lakṣa above the moon means five lakṣas above the earth. This figure will give the correct dimensions for the total size of the universe.] They do not have a different motion, but move clockwise also. Kālāyane means in the wheel of time. Śruti says abhijin nāma-nakṣātram upariṣṭād āṣāḍhānām adhastāc chroṇāyāḥ: Abhjit constellation is composed of the last part of Āṣāḍhā and the first part of Śravaṇā constellations. The astronomical works also confirm this: Abhijit is the last part of Āṣādḥa and the first part of Śravaṇā, consisting of four daṇḍas.
