When the sun and moon are upon the same side of either solstic0, and when, the sum of their longitudeg being a circle, they are of equal declination, it is styled photc. 2. When the room and sun are uppn opposite sides of either 8olstics, and their minutes of declination are the same, it is gatpital, the sum of their longitudes being a half-circle. 3. Owing to the mingling of the nets of their equal rays, the fre, arising from the wrathfulness of their gaze, being driven on by the provoctor (prabahc), 3 originated unto the calamity of mortals. 4.
