in the mythology of India, is the heaven of the moon, the second of the surgs (regions of heaven). In this the moon travels every month through the twenty-seven houses of its great dwelling. This is probably a picture of the astronomical relation, the moon bears to the earth, as the former completes her siderial course in twenty-seven days.
