But in order to give an idea of the whole cycle of time which is called Kalpa and to present the theme of T. as a part of the whole cycle of time T. describes the two divisions of Kalpa the Avasarpiņi and Utsarpini setting up in that frame at a proper place the narration of progressive annihilation of the present Tīrtha, so that one can have an idea of the same in the proper perspective.
