ten Kaliyugas (one yuga = Krita + Tretā + Dwāpara +
Kali = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 Kaliyugas). The Sandhis
that were there in between the Manus and in the beginning
of the first Manu are seven and each Sandhi being equal to
one Krita or four Kalis, the seven Sandhis = 7 × 4 = 28
Kaliyugas.
Further it is stated that 27 yugas had elapsed in the
present seventh Manvantara known as Vaivasvata which
are equal to 27 × 10 = 270 Kaliyugas. Further in the
present yuga, Krita, Tretā and Dwāpara had elapsed equal
to 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 Kaliyugas.
Thereafter in the present Kaliyuga 3179 years elapsed
upto the beginning of the Saka era. Thus totalling we
have 4260 + 28 + 270 + 9 kalis + 3179 years.
= 4567 kalis + 3179 years.
= 4567 × 432000 + 3179 years.
= 179 294 7179 year as mentioned.
Verse 29. The six Manus that went before the present
Vaivasvata were Swāyambhuva, Swārociṣa, Auttama
Tāmasa, Raivata and Cākshusha.

Brāhmamāna, the seventh of the nine mānas.
Verse 30. The Sāmhitikas declare that a Samvatsara
is equal to the time of a mean sidereal revolution of Guru
the Jupiter (This is the Bārhaspatyamāna). The ninth
māna named the Manushyamāna is composite of the four
mānas (as detailed in verse 31).
Comm. The years of the Bārhaspatya māna are enu-
merated as Vijaya, Jaya etc which are sixty in number.
The same names are also adopted in the cāndramāna ie
the luni-Solar reckoning (In vogue in the Andhra Pradesh
and some other provinces too) only with the difference that
prabhava is taken as the starting year in which sequence
Vijaya happens to be the twenty-seventh year. Since the
