When the Sun is south of the equatorial belt there is no time for summer in the north. When summer arrives in the north, then the winter 'goat' is driven away: In order to make the explorers leave their old homeland at a meaningful star date I had assumed 'April 25' was to be measured not from the Hyades Gate but from the Haedus Gate (η and ζ Aurigae), rising with the Sun 11 days later in the year. In Auriga there definitely was no sun horse, only the Charioteer himself down on his knees in the Milky Way river, carrying goats on his back: ... In the story of Phaëton, which is another name for Helius himself (Homer, Iliad xi. 735 and Odyssey v. 479), an instructive fable has been grafted on the chariot allegory, the moral being that fathers should not spoil their sons by listening to female advice. This fable, however, is not quite so simple as it seems: it has a mythic importance in its reference to the annual sacrifice of a royal prince, on the one day reckoned as belonging to the terrestrial, but not to the sidereal year, namely that which followed the shortest day. The sacred king pretended to die at sunset; the boy interrex was at once invested with his titles, dignities, and sacred implements, married to the queen, and killed twenty-four hours later: in Thrace, torn to pieces by women disguised as horses ... but at Corinth, and elsewhere, dragged at the tail of a sun-chariot drawn by maddened horses, until he was crushed to death. Thereupon the old king reappeared from the tomb where he had been hiding ... as the boy's successor ...
... And there is little doubt, in fact none, that Phaethon (in the strange transformation scenes of successive ages) came to be understood as Saturn. There is the testimony of Erastosthenes' Catasterisms, according to which the planet Saturn was Phaethon who fell from the chariot into Eridanus, and Stephanus of Byzantium calls Phaethon a Titan ...
(Tavake, the tropic bird, Phaeton.)
... After they had departed from Pu Pakakina they reached Vai Marama and met a man. Ira asked, 'How many are you?' He answered, 'There are two of us.' Ira continued asking, 'Where is he (the other)?' To that he answered, 'The one died.' Again Ira asked, 'Who has died?' He replied, 'That was Te Ohiro A Te Runu.' Ira asked anew, 'And who are your?' He answered, 'Nga Tavake A Te Rona.'

Heliacal January 5 + 183 » nakshatra July 7 (188) and then 188 (July 7) - 4 = Gregorian 184 (ºJuly 3). Gregorian 184 (ºJuly 3) - 11 = Gregorian 177 (= 6 * 29½, ºJune 26) and then 177 - 64 = 113 (●APRIL 23 according to the ancient Goat at the Gate, Haedus II). This could be were the meridian star (α Corona Borealis, the Cargo Boat) was truly located, 295 days after 0h at the time of the Haedus Gate. The glyph numbers in line Ga8 agree with the day numbers in ●APRIL and the explorers maybe left their ancient homeland at Ga8-25.

... But if the flow is perpetual, it still had a point of 'beginning' and this is found in the Bhagavata Purana (Wilson, p. 138, n. 11): 'The river flowed over the great toe of Vishnu's left foot, which had previously, as he lifted it up, made a fissure in the shell of the mundane egg, and thus gave entrance to the heavenly stream.'
How can the Milky Way pour its waters over Polaris? And how can it flow to the four quarters of the earth? Indian diagrams remained fanciful, in the same way as Western medieval ones. It takes some time for one who looks at the great tympanon at Vézelay to realize there is a space-time diagram, as it were, of world history centered on the figure of Christ. The effect is all the greater for the transpositions.
It was not wholly absurd, either, for archaic cosmology to have double locations, one, for instance, on the ecliptic and one circumpolar. If Tezcatlipoca drilled fire at the pole to 'kindle new stars', if the Chinese Saturn had his seat there too, so could Vishnu's toe have bilocation: one 'above' in the third region, the other in beta Orionis-Rigel (the Arabian word for 'foot'), the 'source' of Eridanus. (And might not Rigel-the-source stand also for Oervandil's Toe, catasterized by Thor?) For Rigel marked the way to Hades in the tradition of the Maori of New Zealand as well as in the Book of Hermes Trismegistos ...

Flowing waters accompanied the Fish God Ea on his way up and a hipu seems to have replenished the water in Gb2-27 (π), in day 350 + 1 (●DECEMBER 17). In the following glyph we can see a vaha mea and here there could indeed be reason to depict the opening (vaha) of a new season like a fish. It should, though, be remembered that it was also described how sweet water circulated:from the Urn of heliacal Sadalmelik (The Lucky King, α Aquarii) down to the mouth of the upside down Southern Fish:
