= 3.3 x 10% approximately,
So, the number of hair-tips of Devakuru-Uttarakuru humans filled in the cylindrical pit is 3.3 x 1036.
The hair-tips are taken out of it in four ways.16 On the basis of these different ways, palyopamas are of four types:
1. Badara Uddhära Palyopama
Every samaya, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called bädara uddhära palyopama. It is actually only formal palyopama, because its value is under countable time-units.
Bhagaval 6:7:133-134
Removing a single hair-tip each samaya, the cylindrical pit will get emptied in 3.3 x 1036 samayas. So we come to the conclusion that one badara uddhāra palyopama = 3.3 x 1036 samayas.
2. Sükşma Uddhära Palyopama
Each hair-tip (referred to in the above definition) is cut into innumerable pieces and the cylindrical pit is made cram-full with these hair-pieces. Every hair-piece is innumerableth fraction of the subtlest part visible by naked eyes. Every samaya, such piece is removed from the pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called sūkṣma uddhāra palyopama = {(3.3 x 10%) x innumerable} samayas.
3. Bädara Addha Palyopama
Each hundred years, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit of the size mentioned above. The total period of time that clapses for emptying it completely is called bådara addha palyopama. As the value of this palyopama remains to be in countable time-units, so it is also only a formal palyopama.
Removing a single hair-tip every hundred years, the pit will be emptied in 100 x 3.3 x 10 years. In this way, one badara addhā palyopama

100 x 3.3 x 10 years
= 3.3 x 1038 years
4. Sūkṣma Addha Palyopama
Each hair-tip is cut into innumerable pieces, as in the sakṣma uddhära palyopama. After every hundred years, a single piece is removed from the pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called sükṣma addhā palyopama. In this way, one sükṣma addhā palyopama
((3.3 x 10") x 100 x innumerable) years
