In contrast to
Mrigashīrsha the following
Hindu station Ardra is very
long, all the way to Castor and
Pollux. Castor rose with the Sun in
July 12 (193), we remember, and 193
- 168 = 25. Which means the pair of
Orion nakshatra stations together
amount to 30
days:
|
Aries |
14 + 14 = 28 |
|
Taurus |
13 + 15 = 28 |
|
Orion |
5 + 25 =
30 |
