“The natural yuga is termed ‘sāvana’ (civil). That which is reckoned after calculating number of days in the joint revolutions of the sun and the moon as Cāndra (Lunar); the Saurā or solar (yuga) is “the heap” of solar days; and the number of days in the revolution of the moon constitutes a Nakṣatra (sidereal) yuga”.
