ABSTRACT
We have already mentioned that the life of Brahman is as long as 72,000 kalpas. All numbers which we shall here mention are kalpas.
If the life of Brahman is a day of Kesava, his year, consisting of three hundred and sixty days, has 25,920,000 kalpas, and his life, 2,592,000,000 kalpas. The latter is I day of-Mahftdeva ; his life, therefore, 93,3 I 2,000,000,000 kalpas. The latter is I day of tsvara; therefore his life 3,359;232,000,000,000,000 kaipas. The latter is I day of Sadasiva; therefore his life 120,932,352,000,000,000,000,000 kalpas. The latter is one day of Viraficana, of which the pardrdhakalpa is only relatively a very small part (v. p. 175).
