Sometimes the word 'aha岣モ�� is distinguished from night and sometimes it stands for the period from sunrise to sunrise (and includes day and night). For example, in Rig. VI.9.1 we have the dark day (i.e. night) and the bright day (i.e. the period when there is light). This part (viz. the period of sunlight) is divided some times into two parts viz. 辫奴谤惫补丑峁嘺 (period before noon) and 补辫补谤腻丑峁嘺 (the time after noon).鈥�(Cf. 峁歡veda. X.34.11, Manusm峁泃i III.278.)
