trasareṇu-trikam - combination of three hexatoms; bhuá¹…kte - as they take time to integrate; yaḥ - that which; kÄlaḥ - duration of time; saḥ - that; truá¹iḥ - by the name truá¹i; smá¹›taḥ - is called; Å›ata-bhÄgaḥ - one hundred truá¹is; tu - but; vedhaḥ - called a vedha; syÄt - it so happens; taiḥ - by them; tribhiḥ - three times; tu - but; lavaḥ - lava; smá¹›taḥ - so called.
The time duration needed for the integration of three trasareṇus is called a truá¹i, and one hundred truá¹is make one vedha. Three vedhas make one lava.
It is calculated that if a second is divided into 1, 687.5 parts, each part is the duration of a truá¹i, 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.
