[INDOLOGY] gato 'stam arkaH

[Harald Wiese]

Dear list members,



*gato 'stam arkaH* (“the sun is setting”) might be an indication of time
(so Daṇḍin's Kāvyādarśa 2.224).



Elsewhere (and that is relevant for me), *gato 'stam arkaH* is understood
to suggest




   1. to Brahmins to perform their evening rituals or

   2. to traders to close their shops.




Could you, please, help me with quotations to these or similar effects.



Yours sincerely

Harald Wiese
