300. Yugaadi-krit -One who is the creator of the divisions of aeons,

described in our Puranas, as Yugas. These Yugas are four in number.

Kritam, Tretaa, Dvaapara and Kali. In short, He is the Lord of Time. By

the term Aadi, it must be understood to indicate all other divisions of

Time as Centuries, Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes and

Seconds. He is not only the Lord of the Yugas, but He is the Light of

Consciousness that illumines the duration of each experience and the

very interval between every pair of subjective experiences.
