The Planets

ग्रह

The grahas are the group of heavenly bodies whose arrangement is bound to the divisions of time. At SB 3.7.33 Vidura asks Maitreya: 'graha-nakShatra-tArANAM kAlAvayava-saMsthitim' — the arrangement of the planets, the lunar mansions and the stars, and of the divisions of time. In this list the planets appear together with the mansions and the stars, and all are connected with the reckoning of time.
