3 Images are wide open to all kinds of interpretation, not tending to close the minds. In that sense they are comparable to the natural (integral) numbers. They should easily dance together.
... When it was evident that the years lay ready to burst into life, everyone took hold of them, so that once more would start forth - once again - another (period of) fifty-two years. Then (the two cycles) might proceed to reach one hundred and four [104] years. It was called One Age when twice they had made the round, when twice the times of binding the years had come together. Behold what was done when the years were bound - when was reached the time when they were to draw the new fire, when now its count was accomplished. First they put out fires everywhere in the country round. And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ... ... 1(0)7 is One and Seven. 10 days + 7 weeks = 59 right ascension nights = 2 * 29½. One day + seven weeks = 50 right ascension nights. → Gb4-16 → 416 → 2 * 208 = 8 * 52. Also twice 107 = 214 (Gb8-2) is at April 25 (115). And 214 → 2-14 → February 14 = All Hearts' Day. All the cycles were here converging and ready to once again burst into life ... A cycle can be depicted as a circle. However, cycles caused by a gravitational well are not circles but instead approximately ellipses, which after much struggle Kepler finally came to accept. Recommended reading: Arthur Koestler, The Sleepwalkers.
But Aditi had no limits, no confining border lines, and therefore the cycles of the planets were not exactly ellipses. A better picture (map) should be the oval outline of an egg - from where new cycles of life would burst forth:
Metoro here saw 3 cycles ahead, etoru mata. When the Sun rose in the east together with the Goat and the Sheep
the Full Moon should ideally be at the place for July 23 (204), where the Head of Hercules would culminate (at 21h).
Counted from December 2 (→ 4 * 84) when the Sun was bound to rise simultaneously with the Club of Hercules and the Full Moon ideally should be at Hassaleh (*73) the distance to the Sun in March 14 (→ 3-14 → π) rising with the Chained Hand of Andromeda should be twice 52 = 104 days: ...
