krameṇaitena vijñeye hrāsavṛddhī yuge yuge
ṣaṭsaptatyaṅgulotsedhaḥ paśur ākakudo bhavet //
During the Sandhyā of this Yuga the man’s measure is eighty four fingers (the fingers being those of the men of Kaliyuga) and he who is 9 tāls in height from head to feet with his hands reaching his knees is adorable even by the Devas. The cows, the elephants the buffalos and the immovable beings like the trees, etc, all undergo variations in their respective stature during the different yugas. The animals, such as oxen etc, measure 76 fingers right up to the hump—10-12
