पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

Div, ‘sky.’ The world as a whole is regarded as divided into the three domains of ‘earth,’ ‘air’ or ‘atmosphere,’ and ‘heaven’ or ‘sky’ (div), or alternatively into ‘heaven and earth’ (dyāvā-pṛthivī), which two are then considered as comprising the universe, the atmosphere being included in the sky. Lightning, wind, and rain belong to the atmosphere, solar and similar phenomena to the sky. In some passages the vault (nāka) of the sky is added after the usual triad, and before the celestial light (svar, jyotis).

The threefold division of the universe is reflected in a threefold division of the three elements--earth, air, and sky. Thus a highest (uttama, uttara, pārya ), a middle, and a lowest heaven are specified. In the Atharvaveda the three heavens are distinguished as ‘rich in water’ (udanvatī), as pīlumatī (of uncertain meaning), and as the pradyaus, where the Fathers sit. Heaven is frequently called vyoman as well as rocana (properly the ‘luminous space’ of heaven), and the dividing firmament which separates the visible upper world from the highest heaven is called, besides nāka, ‘vault,’ sānu, ‘summit,’ viṣṭap, ‘surface,’ and pṛṣṭha, ‘ridge,’ and even ‘ridge of the vault,’ or ‘summit of the vault.’

Similarly three atmospheres (rajas), or oftener two, are alluded to, but the division here is merely artificial. In one passage six rajāṃsi, ‘regions,’ are referred to, the heavens and the earths no doubt being meant. The usual name for the atmosphere is antarikṣa.

The three earths are equally artificial, the origin of the triad being probably the use of pṛthivī in the plural to denote the three divisions of the universe (just as pitarau, ‘two fathers,’ denotes ‘father and mother’). The earth is called kṣam, kṣā, gmā, or designated by the epithets mahī, ‘the great,’ pṛthivī or urvī, ‘the broad,’ uttānā, ‘the extended,’ and is regularly contrasted as idam, ‘this world here,’ with the upper sphere. The shape of the earth is compared with a wheel in the Rigveda, and is expressly called ‘circular’ (pari-maṇḍala) in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa. When earth is conjoined with heaven, the two are conceived as great bowls (camvā) turned towards each other. In the Aitareya Āraṇyaka the two are regarded as halves of an egg. The distance of heaven from the earth is given by the Atharvaveda as a thousand days' journey for the sun-bird, by the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa as a thousand days' journey for a horse, while the Pañcaviṃśa Brāhmaṇa whimsically estimates the distance as equivalent to a thousand cows standing one on the top of the other.

According to Zimmer, the Vedic poets conceived the atmosphere to be above the earth in its upper division only, but below it in its lower stratum. The evidence, however, for the latter assumption is quite insufficient. The theory of the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa is that the sun merely reverses its bright side at night, turning its light on the stars and the moon while it retraverses its course to the east; and it has been shown that this is probably the doctrine of the Rigveda also. literature. The Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa See also Sūrya and Candramās. For the Vedic knowledge of the planets, see Graha.

There is no geographical division of the earth in Vedic literature. The Jaiminīya Upaniṣad Brāhmaṇa states that the centre of the earth is a span north of the Plakṣa Prāsravaṇā, and that the centre of the sky is the constellation of the seven Ṛṣis, the Great Bear. For the quarters, see Diś.
