catvÄri - four; trīṇi - three; dve - two; ca - also; ekam - one; ká¹›ta-Ädiá¹£u - in the Satya-yuga; yathÄ-kramam - and subsequently others; saá¹…khyÄtÄni - numbering; sahasrÄṇi - thousands; dvi-guṇÄni - twice; Å›atÄni - hundreds; ca - also.
The duration of the Satya millennium equals 4,800 years of the years of the demigods; the duration of the TretÄ millennium equals 3,600 years of the demigods; the duration of the DvÄpara millennium equals 2,400 years; and that of the Kali millennium is 1,200 years of the demigods.
As aforementioned, one year of the demigods is equal to 360 years of the human beings. The duration of the Satya-yuga is therefore 4,800 × 360, or 1,728,000 years. The duration of the TretÄ-yuga is 3,600 × 360, or 1,296,000 years. The duration of the DvÄpara-yuga is 2,400 × 360, or 864,000 years. And the last, the Kali-yuga, is 1,200 × 360, or 432,000 years.
