Why planets in the solar system move in a fixed orbit??? Why don't the fall ??? It's due to gravitation.
Let's watch over another slokha from Siddhanta-siromani - Bhuvanakosha - 6 (528 CE) and its translation below:
Massive celestial bodies are attracted powerfully towards the earth by her own (gravitational )force, and they appear to fall as a result of such attraction, but when equal forces act on a body in space from all sides how can it fall?
