Kṣaṇa, lava, and muhūrta [剎那羅婆牟呼栗多] (the Renwang jing says: “Nine hundred arisings and ceasings make one kṣaṇa; ninety kṣaṇas make one thought-instant.” According to the Abhidharmakośa-śāstra and other texts, the shortest instant of time is called one kṣaṇa; 120 kṣaṇas make one tatkṣaṇa; sixty tatkṣaṇas make one lava; thirty lavas make one muhūrta; and thirty muhūrtas make one day and night).
