|| 5.21.18 ||
tathānye ca ṛṣayo gandharvāpsaraso nāgā grāmaṇyo yātudhānā devā ity ekaikaśo gaṇāḥ sapta caturdaśa māsi māsi bhagavantaṁ sūryam ātmānaṁ nānā-nāmānaṁ pṛthaṅ-nānā-nāmānaḥ pṛthak-karmabhir dvandvaśa upāsate.

In one month, fourteen groups form pairs to make seven groups. In other months the groups act singly as fourteen groups and perform worship.

Chapter Twenty-two
Motion of the Sun and Other Planets
|| 5.22.1 ||
rājovāca
yad etad bhagavata ādityasya meruṁ dhruvaṁ ca pradakṣiṇena parikrāmato rāśīnām abhimukhaṁ pracalitaṁ cāpradakṣiṇaṁ bhagavatopavarṇitam amuṣya vayaṁ katham anumimīmahīti.
King Parīkṣit said: My dear lord, you have already affirmed the truth that the supremely powerful sun-god travels around Dhruvaloka with both Dhruvaloka and Mount Sumeru on his right. Yet at the same time the sun-god faces the signs of the zodiac and keeps Sumeru and Dhruvaloka on his left. How can we accept that the sun-god proceeds with Sumeru and Dhruvaloka on both his left and right simultaneously?
The Twenty-second Chapter describes the various speed of the sun in the zodiac, the placement of various planets and their auspicious and inauspicious effects.
In the previous chapter (SB 5.21.8) it was mentioned that the Sun travels with its left side Meru facing the zodiac and also travels with its right side to Meru. Parīkṣit asks for clarification. Daily the sun appears to be moving in a clockwise direction. However you have said that, facing the constellations, the sun goes counterclockwise. How can this b e conceived, since it is contradictory?
