## Verse 406
**Manamarg/465**
There is no other way. Therefore, the Avadhi knowledge has been established in a cubic form and designated.
**Doubt:** Why is the Suciyोजन and Prataryोजन area not considered here?
**Solution:** It is not considered because if it were, it would be an innumerable times less than the Jghana area. But this is not the case, because the different moments of time cannot be proven otherwise. The meaning is that the Avadhi time is an innumerable part of the Jghana time, and it has become "different moments" in this context. And in this way, the time here has become innumerable times greater than the Jghana time. So, the area here (Ghanayोजन) should also be innumerable times greater than the Jghana area [an innumerable part of Ghanangul]. This is how we know that this is indeed Dhanayोजन. Otherwise, if we consider Suciyोजन and Prataryोजन as the area here, then the area here would be innumerable times less than the Jghana Avadhi area, which is an innumerable part of Ghanangul.
The Avadhi knowledge, whose area is established in a cubic form as twenty-five Ghanayोजन, is only a few days in terms of time.
**"Bharahhammi praddhamaasam sahiya maasam cha jambudīvammi |
Yasaṃ cha manu'aloe pasapudhatam cha ruchagammi ||406||"**
**Meaning of the verse:** Where the Bharatavarsha area is in cubic form, the time is half a month. Where the Jambudvipa area is in cubic form, the time is a little more than a month. Where the Manushyaloka area is, the time is one year. Where the Ruchakavar Dvipa area is, the time is a separate year. ||406||
**Special Meaning:** The Bharatkshetra is 526 1/19 yojanas in size, because it is a principle that words used in a community also remain in its parts. Here, we should take the cubic form of the Bharatkshetra, because the cause is being treated in the action here.
The time here is half a month. The meaning is that the Avadhi knowledge, whose area is established in a cubic form as the cubic size of the Bharatkshetra, knows about half a month in terms of time. Here, the word Jambudvipa refers to the Jambudvipa with a cubic size of one lakh yojanas. When the area is this much, the time is a little more than a month. The Manushyaloka is 47 lakh yojanas in cubic size. When the area is this much, the time is one year. The Ruchakavar Dvipa, from its outer two feet to the middle yojanas, is called Ruchakavar, because it is a principle that words used in a community also remain in its parts. Its cubic form is also called Ruchakavar, because the cause is being treated in the action here. When the area is this much, the time is a separate year.
