Multiplying by 360 −−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 1 year of Brahmâ = 8,640,000,000 Deva years. Multiplying by 100 −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Age of Brahmâ = 864,000,000,000 Deva years. Multiplying by 360 −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 31,10,40,00,00,00,000 Lunar years. 1 Kali Yuga, including Twilight (Sandhyâ and Sandhyânsa) = 1,200 X 360 = 4,32,000 Lunar years. Varâha Kalpa = 50 X 360 + 1 = 180001st Kalpa. The present is the seventh Manvantara of that Kalpa. The present Kali Yuga is the 28th Yuga of that Manvantara and 4,994 years of that Yuga have expired in the present year of Christ 1894. THEOSOPHICAL CORRESPONDENCES. The words Kalpa and Manvantara are carelessly used in Theosophical literature. But I shall use those terms, specially with reference to page 309 of the second volume of the _Secret Doctrine_ (first edition.) 1 Kalpa = 7 Rounds. 1 Round = 2 Manvantaras. The Pralaya at the end of seven Rounds therefore means the Pralaya of Trilokî. The last Globe Chain of which the Moon formed a living planet belonged to Pâdma Kalpa. Our Globe D is the 18001st since the birth of the Kosmos. There will be 17999 more such Globes, one after each Pralaya of Globe Chains. There will be 18000 more Pralayas of the Globe Chain. Then there will be a general dissolution or Prâkritika Pralaya, not only of the Globe Chain, but of the whole Kosmic system. V.-THE CREATION BY BRAHMA (_Continued_) III. 12. The first creation of Brahmâ was the five-fold Avidyâ, _viz_: — 1) Tamas or ignorance of Self (Avidyâ in Patanjali.) 2) Moha or egoism (Asmitâ.) 3) Mahâ Moha or desire for enjoyment (Râga). 4) Tâmisra or mental disturbance on the non-fulfilment of desires (Dvesha). 5) Andha Tâmisra or false perception of death (Abhiniveśa).
