Reckoning of time amongst the Devas
The life span of any Hindu demi - god ar a deva, spans nearly (or more than) 4.5 billion years. Statistically, we can also look it as -
- 100 Deva Years = Life Span of Devas.
- Life span of Devas = 1 Kalp (or day of Brahma).
Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:
- 2 Ayanas (6-month periods, see above) = 1 human year or 1 day of the devas 4,000 + 400 + 400 = 4,800 divine years (= 1,728,000 human years) = 1 Sat Yuga 3,000 + 300 + 300 = 3,600 divine years (= 1,296,000 human years) = 1 Treta Yuga 2,000 + 200 + 200 = 2,400 divine years (= 864,000 human years) = 1 Dvapara Yuga 1,000 + 100 + 100 = 1,200 divine years (= 432,000 human years) = 1 Kali Yuga
- 12,000 divine year = 4 Yugas (= 4,320,000 human years) = 1 Maha-Yuga (also is equaled to 1200 Daiva (divine) Yuga)
Reckoning of time for Brahma
- 1000 Maha-Yugas = 1 Kalpa = 1 day (day only) of Brahma
(2 Kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion human years)
- 30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259.2 billion human years) 12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3.1104 trillion human years) 50 years of Brahma = 1 Parardha
- 2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma = 1 Para = 1 Maha-Kalpa (the lifespan of Brahma)(311.04 trillion human years)
