Elaboration Meaning of the word, Paurushi and its period—The words Paurushi is derived from the word. Purush (man). Purush has two meaning—the body of the man and Shanku the peg with which the shadow of the sun or of the lamp is measured. Thus time-period measured with human body or the peg is paurushi.
In human body, the length from foot to the knee which is 24 anguls is called Shanku. The day when the shadow of a thing is equal to the days of that things, that days is called Dakshinayan. In the first year (solar year) of a yug, on the first day of dark fortnight of Shravan, the Shanku and the shadow of the foot is 24 anguls. The shadow of 12 anguls is called a pad. Thus if a person stands with his right ear facing the solar circle, and on day of full moon of Ashadha, the shadow of his knee is two pads, then it is quarter of the day. That should be understood in this manner throughout.
There are two Ayans in a year-Dakshinayan and Uttarayan. Dakshinayan (Southern half year) starts from Shravan and Northern half year (Uttarayan) starts from the month of Maagh. In Southern half year the shadow increases while in th Northern half year the shadow decreases. Size of shadow at the time of quarter of the day. Month
