Shri Ashtapad Maha Tirth - II
Age
Period of Bhagwan Rushabhdev Period from Present: Koda-kodi years (10-20 thousand years) Magnitude scale: Koda = 1000 Kode = 100 Kodi = 10 (devaluation made kodi=20) (Mohammad Tuglak: 1325-1351 AD) 1 Day = 8 Prahar (pahar); 1 Prahar = 4 Purva (Sun dial/shadow) : 84 Lacs Purva
- 719 years Youth period : 20 Lacs Purva
- 171 years Ruling Period : 63 Lacs Purva
- 539 years Diksha Period : 1 Lac Purva
- 9 years Chadmasthakaal: 1000 Purva
- one month Biological Scale: Dhanush: Spinal cord
- Dhanushya: cross-section of the vessel <5mm Height: 500 Dhanushya
- 8.3 feet Fig.3: Brief overview of biography of Bhagwan Rushabhdev in view of re-estimation
done after considering the inputs from the folks regarding the units of measurement –i.e. time and height. For example measurement of structure of the body such as height was being presented in Dhanushya. The Dhanushya perhaps had been adopted from biological scale because during those times the FPS (Foot Pound Second), CGS (Centimeter Gram Second) or MKS (Metre Kilogram Second) systems did not exist. The Dhanushya is derived from the biological scale as follows. Dhanush: Spinal cord, and the Dhanushya: cross-section of the vessel of the spinalcord 55mm. This enables us to estimate the height of Bhagwan Rushabhdev (500 Dhanushya) to be -8.3 feet (8 feet and 4 inches). The mean footprint (charan/ pagala) size of a man of height 5 feet and 6 inches is estimated to be 9 inches, which upon convolving over the height of Bhagwan Rushabhdev 8 feet and 4 inches may be estimated to be 14 inches. This is in agreement to the footprints seen in the Himalayan mountain range. On the contrary, considering the traditional number of the Dhanushya often referred by Jain saints and/ or Jain scholars as 500 Dhanush, which is equal to 3000 feet (1 Dhanush = 6 feet), leads the footprint size of more than 400 feet, larger than footprint of Dinosaur, and therefore appears to be unreliable. Otherwise also for a man of 3000 feet height and standing on two legs it is unlikely to balance himself against natural forces exerted by gravity, wind, surface friction, and atmosphere in addition to the excess influence of solar radiation and greenhouse gases. The above findings of period of Bhagwan Rushabhdev and his life profile appear to be closely related to the scientific evidences described below. b) Scientific Aspects: 1. Evolution of Himalaya Range: The foremost fact that should be considered in such investigations: Bhagwan Rushabhdev cannot be born before the evolution of the Earth. Thus my first milestone is to fix the evolution of the
