“Ek āro ketlā samay no hoy che?” – ā prashn mānuṁ ekदम साचुṁ javāb saṅkhyā mā āpvūṁ shakya nathī.

Jain dharm pramāṇe:

• Kāl-chakra (samay-no chakra) anant chhe – ne te 6–6 āro vālā uttarārdh (Utsarpiṇī) ane dakṣiṇārdh (Avasarpiṇī) mā vibhājit chhe.
• Pratyek āro nī avdhi (duration) asankhyāt–koṭi–sāgaropam varṣo mā āveli batāvāy chhe – e itlī motī chhe ke tene āpṇī sādhāraṇ varṣ-ginti, lakh–crore, arab–kharab vagere mā māpī ja na śakay.
• Etle “ek āro ketlā varṣ no?” evuṁ sīdhī, saṅkhyāoṁ mā jawab āpvo ashakya chhe; keval grantho mā te “asankhyāt koṭi sāgaropam” eva aparimey samay rūpe varṇāyvā chhe.

Saral bhāṣā mā: Ek āro etlo lambo samay hoy chhe ke te agaṇit–agaṇatyo chhe; manav ginti ane vigyānik sāl-ginti thi tene māpī shaktā nathī – e “anant jyāvo bahu motō samay–khand” chhe.
