[Some declare that what is called the day is the course of the Sun beginning from its rise till its setting. From its setting till its rise again is what is called night. These two repeated fifteen times, make up a fortnight (辫补办峁) when repeated thirty times, they make up a month. The passing of all the 苍补办峁迟谤补蝉 by the moon constitutes a month. When 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 crosses one 谤腻艣颈, it is equal to a year. Similar movements of other celestial bodies, described in 闯测补耻迟颈峁 constitute such divisions as Yuga, Manvantara, Kalpa, 惭补丑腻办补濒辫补, etc.]
