त्रसरेणुत्रिकं भुङ्क्ते यः कालः स त्रुटिः स्मृतः शतभागस्तु वेधः स्यात्तैस्त्रिभिस्तु लवः स्मृतः
trasareṇu-trikaṁ bhuṅkte yaḥ kālaḥ sa truṭiḥ smṛtaḥ śata-bhāgas tu vedhaḥ syāt tais tribhis tu lavaḥ smṛtaḥ
WORD BY WORD
trasareṇu-trikam combination of three hexatoms; bhuṅkte as they take time to integrate; yaḥ that which; kālaḥ duration of time; saḥ that; truṭiḥ by the name truṭi; smṛtaḥ is called; śata-bhāgaḥ one hundred truṭis; tu but; vedhaḥ called a vedha; syāt it so happens; taiḥ by them; tribhiḥ three times; tu but; lavaḥ lava; smṛtaḥ so called.;
TRANSLATION
| The time duration needed for the integration of three trasareṇus is called a truṭi, and one hundred truṭis make one vedha. Three vedhas make one lava.
|
PURPORT
| It is calculated that if a second is divided into 1, 687.5 parts, each part is the duration of a truṭi, which is the time occupied in the integration of eighteen atomic particles. Such a combination of atoms into different bodies creates the calculation of material time. The sun is the central point for calculating all different durations.
