v1.c6.s2.2
71 Mahāyugas make one Manu and a period equivalent to a Kṛtayuga known as ‘Manu-sandhi’ (i.e., the transition period between two Manus), is reckoned in the beginning of each Manu period. This means that a period equal to 4567 Kaliyugas have elasped from the commencement of Brahmā’s day up to the present Kaliyuga. All Siddhāntas with the exception of that of Āryabhaṭa agree on these points, although they hold somewhat different views on other matters.
