In a statement on
rigveda given by Sayanacharya at (Vijayanagara empire, 14 th Century AD), he
says
tatha ca smaryate yojananam sahasre dve dve sate dve ca yojane
ekena nimisardhena kramamana
तथा च स्मर्यते-योजनाना सहस्ट्रे द्वे-द्वे शते द्वे
च योजने | एकेनं निमशारधेन क्रम मान नामोस्तुटे
Means...
Thus it is remembered: [O Sun] you who traverse 2,202 yojanas in half a
nimesa.
Here yojana is about 9 miles as in the Arthasaastra (and Mahabharat
Adiparva). The
measures of
time are thus defined in the Puranas:
1 Day-Night = 30 Muhurta = 24 Hours
1 Muhurta = 30 Kala =
24/30 Hours
1 Kala = 30 Kastha
= 24/900 hours = 1.6 minute
1 Kastha = 15 Nimesha =
(1.6/15) min = 3.2 seconds
1 Nimesh = 3.2/15 = 0.21333... second
A Nimesh is therefore equal to 16/75 seconds. (0.21333)
If you calculate the value is,
(2202*9 miles)/((16/75)/2 sec) = 185793.75 miles/sec
Which is nothing but speed of light (Scientific value is 187372 miles)
At that time the only known source of light was sun. So the credit
was given to SUN.
This information is highlighted by Prof. Subash Kak, Delaune
Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Asian
Studies and Cognitive Science at Louisiana State University in Baton
Rouge. and is also in
book Vastav Ramayan
by Dr. P. V. Vartak.
