## Chapter 86: Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas

**Verse 25: Explanation of Time**

Time, moment, *kaṣṭhā*, *kalā*, *nālī*, then day and night. Month, season, solstice, and year - this is time, dependent on others.

**Commentary:**

Here, the dependence of practical time is shown.

Time is dependent on the movement of atoms. A moment is dependent on the blinking of the eye. *Kaṣṭhā*, *kalā*, and *nālī* are specific quantities of moments. Day and night are dependent on the movement of the celestial bodies. Month, season, solstice, and year are specific quantities of day and night.

Such practical time cannot be understood as merely a synonym for time, as it is dependent on other things. Therefore, it is described as "dependent."

**Hindi Explanation of Verse 25:**

(Time) Time, (moment) moment, (*kaṣṭhā*) *kaṣṭhā*, (*kalā*) *kalā*, (*nālī*) *nālī*. (Then day and night) day and night, (day), (month, season, and year) month, season, and year. (This is time) such time (i.e., practical time) (dependent on others) is dependent on others.

**Commentary:**

Here, the dependence of practical time is shown.

Time is dependent on the movement of atoms. A moment is dependent on the blinking of the eye. From a specific number of moments, *kaṣṭhā*, *kalā*, and *nālī* are formed. Day and night are dependent on the movement of the sun. From a specific number of day and night, month, season, solstice, and year are formed.

Such practical time cannot be understood as merely a synonym for time, as it is dependent on other things. Therefore, it is described as "dependent."

**Sanskrit Meaning and Explanation of Verse 25:**

Now, in determining time and other practical time, the true meaning of time is also revealed through the transformation of the soul, the *pudgala*, and the *bhavana*. This shows that it is dependent on other things.

*Samaya* - Time is manifested by the *pudgala* atoms that have undergone slow transformation.

*Nimisa* - A moment is manifested by the blinking of the eye. It is a time beyond numbers.

*Kaṣṭhā* - Fifteen *nimisa* make a *kaṣṭhā*.

*Kalā* - Thirty *kaṣṭhā* make a *kalā*.

*Nālī* - Twenty-four *kalā* make a *muhūrta* (two *muhūrta* make a *ghaṭikā*).

*Then day and night* - Thirty *muhūrta* make a day and night.

*Month* - Twenty days make a month.

*Season* - Two *udgāsa* make a season.

*Solstice* - A solstice is caused by a season.

*Year* - Two solstices make a year.

The word "iti" indicates that practical time is to be understood as a metaphor, a simile, or an analogy. It is manifested by the slow transformation of the *pudgala* atoms, the *ghaṭikā* is manifested by the *pudgala* that is the cause of the water clock, and the day and night are manifested by the specific actions of the sun's movement.
