e Palya or palla is a well, or a big silo to store food-grains. e
Counting oftime by usingpalya as a unit is calledpalyopam. a
Palyopam is of three types—(1) Uddhar Palyopam, (2) Addha
© Palyopam, and(3) Kshetra Palyopam. é
(1) Uddhar Palyopam—tThefirst is defined as—consider a es
palya (well) which is one yojan (4 kos or eight miles) long, one
4 yojan wide and one yojan deep. It should be filled with the %
% extremely small pieces of hair of a newborn Yaugalik baby (child &
ss} of the era of twins) of not more than seven days. Thefilling
«) should be so packed thatthefire or water are unable to damage {&
»} it and even a few pieces do not go astray even if the large army 6
§ of a chakravarti passes overit. If a piece of hair is taken out
every samay (a very subtle unit of time that cannot be divided
41 further), the period taken to make the well empty is known as §
| Uddharpalyopam (uddhar meansto take out).
Uddhar Palyopam is of two types—Subtle Uddhar Palyopam o&
- and - Practical (Vyavaharik) Uddhar Palyopam. The above

- known as Subtle Uddhar Palyopam.
(2) Addha Palyopam—Addha is a native word meaning 6
es time. The Palyopam mentioned in scriptures in the present case
¢ relates to this Palyopam. To understand the period, take out one %
. % piece after every hundred years. The total time taken to make the &
well empty isAddha Palyopam. It is numerable million years. io
Addha Palyopam is also of two types—Vyavaharik (Practical) §
< and Sukshma (subtle). Practical has already been described. The §&
2) Subtle oneis like that in case of Uddhar Palyopam. The hair are;
split into innumerablepieces and taken one each hundred years. ©
