cosmic calendar are equal to 180 (1800-00-00'-001" to 360°-00'. 000"") of Jaina-time-cycle.
Moreover, the methods of modern scientists for deciding the life-span of archaeological objects is faulty accordiog to the calcula. tions of the Jaina time-cycle and it is natural to be because according to the Jaina scripture, Bphatsamgrahani, the speed of tranformation of objects decreases as time passess in utsarpini i.e. first half of the Jaina time-cycle, and the speed of transformation of objects increases as time passes in avasarpiņi i.e. later half of the Jaioa time-cycle. The Jaisa scriptures also give evidential proofs for this. The lifespan of human beings varies from 16 to 20 years and they are nearly 1 hand (1.5 feet) tall in the beginoing of utsarpiņi. When the first ara of 21000 years and the second ārā of 21000 years come to an end, their beight varies from 5 to 6 hands and their life-span is nearly of 80 years. As time passes, the transformation becomes slower and slower. It is illustrated as under.
After a lapse of the first fifty million million Sägaropama years of the utsarpiņi, the life-span rises from 20 years to nearly 72 hund. red thousand pūrva years (1 pärva=7056000,00,00,000=70.56 x 1012 years) and the height rises from 1 hand to 450 dhaouşyas (bow). But after lapse of the next 50 million million sagaropam years, the life-span rises only to 81 hundred thousand pūrva years and the height rises from 450 dhanuşyas to 500 dhanuşyas. Similarly, at the end of the fourth ārā having 2x 1016 sāgaro pama years of utsarpiņi, the life-span rises to nearly 1 palyopama years and height rises to one gâu and at the end of the fifth arā of utsarpiņi, the life-span rises to nearly 2 palyopama years and height rises to two gaus. The fifth ara is 3 x 1016 sagaropama years long. At the end of the sixth åră, having 4 x 104 sagaropama years the life-span is of three palyopa ma years and the height is of three gaus. Jaina scriptures mention that in each period (ära) of 2 x 1014 sagaropama, 3 x 1014 and 4x 1014 sagaropama years, life-span rises by one palyopama years and height rises by one gău. Similarly, life-span and height decreases in avasarpiņi, the later half of the Jaina-time-cycle.
Today on the basis of radiation of radioactive element of archaeological objects, scientists can say how old the objects are. But according to what has been stated above, compared to the rate of radiation of radioactive element from those objects today, the rate of radiation of radioactive element of those objects perhaps low a few years ago and it was perhaps extremely low maoy more years ago. But without taking this into account, we work out the time of
