[On the words] "have been declared" and so on: the sounds born from the name, arisen from the name, are innate; the eight sounds beginning with the mātrā have been declared. I shall explain the temporal [risings] of these sounds arising from time, beginning with the twelve-year period—those born of the year, season, month, lunar fortnight, lunar day, and daṇḍa, designated as stages of life such as childhood. [On the words] "beginning with Prabhava" and so on: among the sixty years in the order beginning with Prabhava, the five sounds beginning with "a" rise individually in periods of twelve years each. For instance, the rising of the sound "a" lasts twelve years beginning with Prabhava; then by sets of twelve years each comes the rising of the four sounds beginning with "i". In that regard, for determining the years beginning with Prabhava, there is the statement of Śrīpati in the Ratnamālā: "The Śaka king's era, set down separately, multiplied by twenty-two, increased by four thousand two hundred sixty-one, / divided by one thousand eight hundred seventy-five, the quotient is taken; when the remainder is divided by sixty, the years beginning with Prabhava are obtained." An example: In Vikrama Saṃvat 2016, Śaka 1881, on the first lunar day of the bright fortnight of Caitra. The Śaka year is 1881.
