ABSTRACT

Duration, or time in general, only applies to the Creator as being his age, and not determinable by a beginning and an end. In fact, it is his eternity. They frequently call it the soul, i.e. purusha. But as regards common time, which is determinable by motion, the single parts of it apply to beings beside the Creator, and to natural phenomena beside the soul. Thus kalpa is always used in relation to Brahman, for it is his day and night, and his life is determined by it.

Which of the different measures of time have dominants and which not.
