(pañcadasa-muhurto divaso rātris ca, 2.20.37) or other sources. The expected third term, however, is found in Malayagiri's commentary on the Joisakarandaga:
tatha suryadivasasyaikaṣaṣṭir ghaṭikāḥ parimāṇam, karmma-divasasasya ṣaṣṭir ghaṭikāḥ, candra-divasasya... (p. 36).
"The solar day measures 61 ghatikās, the civil day 60,34 the lunar day

Further, the JK defines time not only in time units but also in units of volume and units of weight. The reason is that the instrument used to measure time is a water clock, which discharges through a small hole certain amount of water in 24 minutes. The volume discharged in one naḍi is two āḍhakas, and the weight of the water discharged in one nāḍi is 100 palas.35 Malayagiri elaborates on this by systematically giving the volume and weight of each type of day:
ekaikasyam ca ghaṭikāyām dvau dvav aḍhakāv iti divasasya meya-cintāyām: surya-divasasya dvavimsam adhaka-satam parimanam 122, karmma-divasasya vimsaty-uttaram aḍhaka-satam 120 ... /ekaikasyām ca nālikāyām pala-satam iti tulyatva-cintāyām idam divasasya parimāṇam: surya-divasasyaikaṣaṣṭiḥ palasatāni parimāṇam 6100, karmma-divasasya ṣaṣṭiḥ palasatāni 6000 (M on JK p. 37).
"In terms of the volume of the day, since in each ghaṭikā (=nādi) there are 2 aḍhakas, the solar day has 122, the civil day 120 ... In terms of the weight of the day, since in one nalika there are 100 palas, the size is as follows: the solar day has 6100, the civil day 6000...".

synonyms.
