kora-kori = 10,000,000) (10,000,000) O.Y.S. less 395000 years ago, roughly speaking. At its commencement the conditions of things on our little earth resembled those in a bhogabhūmi.

The duration of the first and of our half cycle was 4 kora-kori, of the second 3 kora-kori, of the third, 2 kora-kori, and of the fourth, 1 korākori O.Y.S. Less 42,000 years. The duration of the fifth (which is now running) will be 21,000 years, and of the sixth, the same as that of the fifth.
