EPOCHS OF THE INTERMEDIATE TIRTHAKARAS.
Since the time that the Arhat Nami died, &c. (all down to) freed from all pains, 584,979 years have elapsed, this is the eightieth year1. (184) Since the death of Munisu vrata this is the year 1,184,980. Since Malli2 this is the year 6,584,980. Ara died 10,000,000 years before Malli; Kunthu a quarter of a Palyopama before Malli; Sânti threequarters of a Palyopama; Dharma three Sâgaropamas before Malli; Ananta seven Sâgaropamas before Malli; Vimala sixteen Sâgaropamas before Malli; Vâsupûgya forty Sagaropamas before Malli; Sreyâmsa a hundred Sâgaropamas before Malli. Sitala died a krore of Sâgaropamas, less 42,003 years and eight and a half months, before the death of Vira.

1 The numbers are given in the same way as in § 183. I have abridged these tedious accounts. All Tîrthakaras except Mahâvîra have the title Arhat, which I have dropped in the sequel.
2 Read Malli (for Mali) in the printed edition of the text.
