1 Regarding the journey out into the universe that appears as recorded in the Buddhist Jatakas, according to the Commentary on the Kitcha Jataka.

In the past, the Bodhisattva spent his life as a vulture at Khao Khitchakut. The vulture Bodhisattva fathered the king vulture named Supat, who was very powerful. There were thousands of vultures as followers. Phaya Condor raised his mother and father on the top of Mount Khitchakut.

On the top of Mount Khitchakut, there is a path called Parisangkuptha that has existed since ancient times. Because people who want to go up to get gold must stab a spear, hammer in a spear, make a stake, tie a rope and then climb up into that area [pari-rop/sangku-spear, spear/patha(patha bot)-path], so it is called parisa. Anguptha is the path with spears that surround the mountain.

It is a difficult path that is difficult to climb. Phaya Condor takes care of his elderly mother and father on that path (that is, this path is free from enemies who can come up).

Phraya Condor often goes to find python yams for those mothers and fathers to eat. His father heard that Phaya Condor Supat has strong wings and is very strong. He often soars high and travels far away. He therefore taught his son that

Pariphlavattaṃ pathavi yādā tāta vijānahi

Sākarena parikkhitaṃ cakkaṃva primandalaṃ.

(paraphrased)

Look, Dad.

When did you see the land surrounded by seas?

(has the appearance of) being round (and able to rotate around itself) as if it were a wheel

Floating gently like a lotus leaf floating in the water.

You must return quickly from there. Don't fly any further.

The world's stars are pictured in this picture. It's a point near the North Pole. When viewed from above at this polar point, the Earth's rotation can be seen similar to the rotation of a wheel or wheel.

Phraya Rang Supat was a creature with a perfect body, great strength, and strong wings. He did not follow his father's advice. One day he flew with the vultures and abandoned them. Has flown up into the air (space) above with great speed. I reached the place my father told me to go. When he got there, he turned his head back and looked down.

and saw mountains and forests saw the land surrounded by the sea It had a round shape like a wheel, just like his father had said. Phraya Rang Supat flew past the place his father had told him to go up ahead again. Therefore, the strong fire of the wind (Vatsikha) killed the very strong King Supat and crushed him to pieces.

Phraya Rang Supat had flown too far and could not return from there. Under the power of wind to destruction When Phraya Rang Supat didn't follow his father's advice. The children, wives, and other vultures who depended on the King of Vultures to lead them to make a living were all brought to ruin together.

From the sentence that the vulture Bodhisattva warned Phaya Vulture Supat, it is known that it was spoken from the perspective of observation from within the universe with a perspective.

bird eye view

That is, when you are in the universe and look back at the planet Earth. You will see various landmasses (continents) surrounded by oceans. It has a flat, spherical shape. Which means the side of the planet (which one is unknown among the ten thousand worlds) that can be seen with the eye. It is a sphere that is similar and can rotate around itself like the movement of a chakra wheel (

Because if we didn't see that the earth rotates around itself like the rotation of a wheel, then there would probably already be a comparison between the roundness of the earth and the roundness of other things instead. There is no need to compare the wheel again) and the point viewed from space may be a point that is perpendicular to the Earth's axis (either the North Pole or the South Pole).

To see that the earth is round and flat and revolves around itself like the rotation of a wheel. Floating above the water (Sakhon) like a lotus leaf.

It is a view from above in the polar region (either north or south) that can be seen that The appearance of the planet Earth will appear round and flat and floating (in space) like a round lotus leaf floating in a pond) because it is an image seen from a perspective of only one dimension, not three dimensions (width-length-height). That is, you will see Planet Earth from only one dimension out of all 3 dimensions (width-length-height).

According to the Atthakatha Kitchātaka, regarding the metaphor of the shape of the earth from the perspective of space, it can be confirmed that Buddhism has previously discovered that The earth is spherical and can rotate around itself before any theories of that era or after that for hundreds of years, but it has been lost in translation due to a mistake in careless interpretation in one era. d

Until Western science would eventually discover it thousands of years later.

For the doubt that When living things are in space, what will they be like? There are answers as follows:

1. Will lose consciousness within 15 seconds due to lack of oxygen to the brain. and all brain cells will die within 3 minutes

2. Blood and body fluids boil and harden. Because the pressure in a vacuum causes the boiling point of liquids in the body to lower. The liquid molecules that evaporate carry heat with them. Therefore, blood and body fluids coagulate.

3. Every organ in the body, both internal and external, will expand due to the boiling of blood and bodily fluids.

4. The skin is burned by the heat from the sun. that comes with various types of radiation

5. May be harmed by The force of the collision of foreign objects floating aimlessly in space. which ranges from dust with small particles to large objects that moves at high speed

But according to the information of Phraya Rang Supat This species of Phaya Rang Supat is not necessarily the species of vulture that we have known before. Because the physical power of Phraya Rang Supat is very complete. which results in the body being extremely durable Its internal and external organs are extremely durable.

In traveling out of the world, Phraya Rang Supat used a method of storing enough breath for use in the journey (but not as much as the results of the training of the swordsman Maharshi in ancient times, who had both physical strength and power. very high potency) and when combined with the high speed flight of Phaya Rang Supat himself This makes it possible to travel very far in a short period of time and can avoid various objects in space as well.

Therefore, the death of Phraya Rang Supat Most likely caused by radiation in space. Because Phraya Rang Supat was executed by something called Vatsikhā, which Vatsikhā comes from the words vata-wind, sikha-yod, tip, flame. And in this case, the word sikhā should more likely mean flame. When combined with the word Vata

Then the meaning is "Flame of the Wind", which is most likely "Vatasikhā" in this case. Solar wind (storm)
