... ĀTMĀ
The Self...
3 Ritu
= Ayana (Equinox). 2 Ayana
= 1 Year. 5 Years
= 1 Yuga. 84,00,000 Years = 1 Pūrvāmga 84,00,000 Pūrvāmga = 1 Pūrvā (70,560 Billion Years).
(The longest life period of man on earth (except yugalika) is 10 million 'Pūrvā' during specific time period of the 'Kālacakra' (Time- Cycle). For celestial and infernal beings it is in Palyopama and Sāgaropama.)
Purva, Trutitang, Trutita, Adadang, Adada, Avavang, Avava, Huhukang, Huhuka, Utpalang, Utpala, Padmang, Padma, Nalinang, Nalin, Artha Nipurang, Artha Nipura, Ayutang, Ayuta, Nayutang, Nayuta, Prayutang, Prayuta, Chulikang, Chulika, Śirshpahelikang, Śirshpahelika, each multiplied by a Purvamga (84,00,000 Years) results into the successive term (figure). The Final term is Sirşapahēlikā, = 758, 263, 253, 073, 010, 241, 157, 973, 569, 975, 696, 406, 218, 966, 848, 080, 183, 296 X 10140 Total 194 digits.
Hereafter are different methods of calculation on the basis of simile, like 'Light Years' used in Cosmological terms (i.e. distance of light which travels 186700 miles per second thoughout the year).
1 Palyopama : Explanation : A hollow pit of 8X 8X8 miles tightly filled with hair particles of seven day old newly born. (A single hair from the above cut into 8 pieces 7 times = 20, 97, 152 particles) one such particle emptied after every 100 years, the time taken to empty the whole pit = Palyopama. (1 Palyopama = Countless years.)
10 Kõțākāți Palyopama = 1 Sāgarðpama 10 Kõțākõți Sāgarőpama = 1 Avasarpiņi (Descending period) 10 Koțāköți Sāgarōpama = 1 Utsarpiņi (Ascending period) 1 Avasarpiņi + 1 Utsarpiņi = 1 Kāla Cakra (Time-Cycle). (Note: 1 Kõțākoți = 1,00 00 00 00 00 00 00)
1 Pudgala-Parāvarta-Kāla = Infinite number of Kāla Cakra (Time Cycles) Avasarpini and Utsarpiņi each have six types of time - sections.
