A.M. and P.M.
The terms *A.M.* and *P.M.* have a *Sanskrit* connotation and not English as is easily assumed.
In English parlance the term A.M. means ‘ante-meridian’ and P.M. means ‘post-meridian’. But the question remains who is ante-meridian and post-meridian? That is to say the subject himself is missing. The ‘Sun’ which is vital to the calculation remains un-mentioned. This is unthinkable and unjustifiable.
That lacuna arises because it is not realized that the letters A.M. and P.M. are the initials of the hoary Sanskrit expressions
*(आरोहणम् मार्तडस्य्) Arohanam Martandasya* (i.e. the climbing of the sun)
and
*(पतनम् मार्तडस्य्)Patanam Martandasya* (i.e. the falling of the sun).
