¹⁷³² या ओषधीः पूर्वा जाता देवेभ्यस्त्रियुगं पुरा। ऋ. X. 97. 1. Here what is meant by त्रियुगं is doubtful. The निरुक्त IX. 28 explains देवेभ्यस्त्रीणि युगानि पुरा, while सायण says कृतादियुगत्रयम्. In the शतपथ VII. 2. 4. 26 त्रियुगं means 'three seasons of spring, rains and autumn' (S. B. E. vol. 41 pp. 339-340).
