## Verse 574-577
**Samyaktvamarga Ma/643**
One should know the muhurta (auspicious moment). Similarly, one should know the remaining day, fortnight, month, season, solstice, year, etc. The infinite and endless series of **jghanya-yukta-samkhyata** times is the time of conduct. ||575-576||
The celestial beings (devas) move only in the human realm, therefore, one should know the time of conduct similar to them. ||577||
**Special Note:** There is a series of **jghanya-yukta-samkhyata** times, which are the least significant. The definition of time has already been given in verse 573.
**Doubt:** What is the measure of **jghanya-yukta-samkhyata**?
**Solution:** One **parita-samkhyata** is the measure of **jghanya-yukta-samkhyata**. Alternatively, by thinning out the **jghanya-parita-samkhyata** and giving the same **jghanya-parita-samkhyata** to each digit, multiplying them together, a **jghanya-pustaka-samsapas** is obtained, which is similar to a series. By subtracting one from this measure, the **utkrista-parita-samkhyata** is obtained.
**Other:**
"Thinning out that very **jghanya-yukta-samkhyata** and multiplying it by itself." ||36||
"The **utkrista-jghanya-samkhyata** is similar to a series." ||37||
**Doubt:** How is the measure of **jghanya-parita-samkhyata** obtained?
**Solution:** In this regard, the **Trilokasar** text states in verses 14-15 and 26-35:
- To know the **samkhyata**, one should imagine four containers: **anavastava**, **shalaka**, **prati-shalaka**, and **maha-shalaka**. Each container has a diameter of one lakh yojanas and a height of one thousand yojanas. The **anavastava** container should be filled with mustard seeds, starting with two, and so on. Once the **anavastava** container is full, one mustard seed should be placed in the **shalaka** container. And, with the mind or with the help of a deva, take the number of mustard seeds in the **anavastava** container and place one seed in each island and ocean. From the island or ocean where the seeds are exhausted, down to Jambudvipa, the measure of all the previous islands and oceans should be equal. Create a second **anavastava** container and fill it with mustard seeds. The number of mustard seeds in the first container is the **gachcha** for the second **anavastava** container. The number of mustard seeds in the first and second **anavastava** containers is the **gachcha** for the third **anavastava** container. In this way, the measure of mustard seeds in successive **anavastava** containers is determined by the **gachcha** of the previous containers. After filling the second **anavastava** container completely, place another mustard seed in the **shalaka** container. Continue in this way, and when the **shalaka** container is full, place one seed in the **prati-shalaka** container. Empty the **shalaka** container and fill it again as before, and place another seed in the **prati-shalaka** container.
