As the days passed by, he attained old age and still didn’t have any compassion in him. In the
course of time Ahi Sharma died because of old age and wife too followed him.||5||

1 Year (Human) = 1 Devataa Din (Celestial Day Time)
360 Years (Human) = 1 Devataa Varsha (Celestial Year) or Divya Varsha.
12,000 Divya Varsha = 1 Chatur Yuga or Maha Yuga (Krita Yuga, Trethaa Yuga, Dwaapar Yuga, Kali Yuga)
1 Chatur Yuga = 1 Devataa Yuga (Celestial Epoch = 43,20,000 Years for Human Beings)
71 Chatur Yuga = 1 Manvantar (A new epoch or an age of new transition)
14 Manvantar = 1 Kalpa or Brahmaji’s day.
1 Kalpa = 432 Crore Years for Human Beings.
2 Kalpa = 1 Day (Sunrise to the next Sunrise)
 ु प्रजायते। कन्यका न भिेिस्य गभमपातो न जायते॥१३॥
एिं कृ त्वा विधानेन शीघ्रं पत्रः

in future she will not abort. ||13||

etc.) and did what a Vyshya (One who earns by trading) did i.e. trading, because of this he got
