Calculation of Time:
- 15 Nimeshas (Twinklings of Eye) = 1 Kashtha
- 30 Kashthaa = 1 Kala
- 30 Kalas = 1 Muhurta
- 30 Muhurtas = 1 Ahoratri (Day and Night) of Mortals
- 30 Ahoratris = 1 Masa (Month) divided into two Pakshas
- 6 Masas = 1 Ayana (Period of Sun's movement)
- 1 Varsha = 2 Ayanas - Dakshinayana (Night of Gods) and Uttarayana (Day of Gods)
Chatur Yuga:
- 12000 Divya Varsha = 1 Chatur Yuga
- Krita Yuga Sandhya = 400 Divya Varsha
- Krita Yuga = 4000 Divine Varsha
- Krita Yuga Sandhyamsha = 400 Divya Varsha
- Treta Yuga Sandhya = 300 Divya Varsha
- Treta Yuga = 3000 Divine Varsha
- Treta Yuga Sandhyamsha = 300 Divya Varsha
- Dwapara Yuga Sandhya = 200 Divya Varsha

- 360 Days and Nights of Brahma = 1 Year of Brahma
