। ॥ २८८ ॥
In plain words
The sun looks about a hand's width across. Scripture says it spans a hundred thousand yojanas. Sometimes what you see is overturned by another way of knowing — even perception has no final authority here.
Close to the Sanskrit
The sun is seen as no more than a handbreadth, though shown by scripture to measure a hundred thousand yojanas; in some cases perception comes to refutation by another means of knowledge — indeed, even perception has here no settled authority.
