Splendid as a new blade of d™rva grass, and accompanied by Sumitr€'s two

sons and by Bharata, He appeared in the Tret€-yuga of the 24th catur-yuga as

the son of Kaualy€ and Daaratha.

 

[Calculations: 1 Catur-yuga= 4,320,000 years or 43 lakh 20 thousand years

 

Catur-yugas passed = 24th part (roughly half) of Treta & full Kali,

25th, 26th, 27th, 28th till part of Kali-yuga

 

Years passed approx. = 432,000 + 432,000 + 4,320,000 + 4,320,000 +

4,320,000 + (4,320,000-427,000 left)

 

= 17,717,000 (+or-432,000 years)

(+ or - 432,000 years is required because we don't exactly know in which

period of Treta Yuga, He appeared).

 

Your servant,
