Dear Gautam, tell me how the Mahapurana, which destroys sin and is full of the four purusharthas, came into being?" Hearing this, Gautam Ganadhar declared like thunder in the rainy season. He said, "O Shrenik, listen. The tradition of Arhants, free from passion and delusion, has no beginning and no end. The Veer Bhagwan has certainly said - I will first tell you briefly that time is beginningless and endless, which the Jin Bhagwan has seen with his Kevalgyan. He is the helper in the transformation of this world, he is tasteless, odorless, formless and weightless. Due to the cause of the world's creation, this definite time can only be known by a rare man who is truly righteous.
Chhattaa - O King! You are like a bee attracted to the lotus feet of the monks! I will not hide any truth. I will tell you exactly as I heard it from the mouth of the Supreme Lord about the time of action. || 4 ||

The time it takes for an atom to travel from one region of the sky to another is called time. An uncountable number of times is called an Aavali. A Ucchvas is formed from countable Aavalis. Seven Ucchvasas should be understood as a Stoka. Seven Stokas are called a Lava - this is how the son of the beloved Trishala, Mahavira, has understood it. In the minds of the great monks, there are forty-five and a half Lava in a Nadi. Two Ghadi make a Muhurta, and thirty Muhurtas make a day and night. Days make a month - this is what the great Rishi Nath has said. Two months make a season, three seasons make an Ayan, which is well-known. Two Ayans make a year, and five years are called a Yuga."
