## Hṛṣṭapuṭa
Āgama Sūtra 28, Payannāsūtra-5, 'Tandulavaicārika'
Sūtrasūtra - 73
This way, one who eats 22 and a half vahas of rice eats 5 and a half kumbhas of mung beans. Meaning, he eats 2400 āḍhakas of ghee and oil or 36,000 palas of salt. He changes clothes after two months, wearing 600 dhotis. If he changes clothes every month, he wears 1200 dhotis. This way, O Āyuṣman! This is the count or measurement of oil, ghee, salt, food, and clothes of a human being who lives for 100 years. This count of quantity has also been stated by the Mahṛṣi in two ways. Having counted those who have all this, what is there to count for those who have nothing? Sūtra - 74
First, the count of practical behavior was seen, now one should know the subtle and certain count. If it is not this way, then one should know the count as uneven. Sūtra - 75
The most subtle time, which cannot be divided, should be known as 'time'. There are countless times in one breath. Sūtra - 76
The one breath of a hṛṣṭapuṣṭa, free from debility and suffering, is called prāṇa. Sūtra - 77
Seven prāṇas make one stoka, seven stokas make one lava, 77 lavas make one muhūrta. Sūtra - 78
O Bhagavan! How many breaths are there in one muhūrta? O Gautama! Sūtra - 79
There are 3773 breaths. All the infinite knowers have stated this muhūrta-quantity. Sūtra - 80
Two palas make one muhūrta, 60 palas make one ahotraatra, 15 ahotraatras make one pakṣa, 2 pakṣas make 1 month. Sūtra - 81-82
A clock made of iron in the shape of a pomegranate flower should be made, with a hole in its bottom. The hole of the clock should be like the 96 hairs of a three-year-old calf's tail, which are straight and not bent. Sūtra - 83
Or, the hole of the clock should be like the hairs of a two-year-old elephant calf's tail, which are not broken. Sūtra - 84
There should be a hole of four angulas in a four-māśa gold bowl and a hard needle. Sūtra - 85
The quantity of water in that clock should be two āḍhakas, and that water should be used after filtering it through cloth. Sūtra - 86
The water should be like the clear water of a cloud or the water of a mountain river in the autumn season. Sūtra - 87
One year has 12 months, one year has 24 pakṣas and 360 nights and days.
