OF ABYABHATTA. 375 the end of Virgo, is situated in the north ; the other half, from the beginning of Libra to the end of Pisces, is in the south." The following two passages bear upon the relative distance of the planets, including the sun and moon, from the earth, the sup- posed centre of the celestial sphere, and upon the relative dimen- sions of the planetary orbits : — " Below the fixed stars are, successively, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon ; below all these is the Earth, being in the midst of the ether." ^ Concerning the relative dimensions of the orbits, Aiyabhatta has taught thus : — ^nrr: ^rwr^s^ f^Hirj^i: is(«^i^ ii " The Moon, being undermost, completes a small circle in a short time ; and Saturn, being uppermost, a large circle in a long time.
For upon a small circle the signs are small, whereas they are great upon a large circle ; so, too, the degrees and minutes are divided proportionately to the respective orbits." Aryabhatta, for aught we know, was the first, and remained almost the sole, astronomer among his countrymen, who affirmed the daily revolution of the Earth on its own axis.
