सलोकालोकभूलोकद्विगुणात्खादनन्तरम् ।
पक्वाक्षोटस्य भिस्सेव स्थितं नक्षत्रमण्डलम् ॥ १६ ॥

salokālokabhūlokadviguṇātkhādanantaram |
pakvākṣoṭasya bhisseva sthitaṃ nakṣatramaṇḍalam || 16 ||

The sphere of zodiacal stars, is twice as distant from the poles, as those are distant from the middle of the earth; in the same manner as the covering crust of a ripe walnut is aloof from the sheath of its seeds.
