There are how many chovisi and its time frames
In Jain cosmology, there are 2 chovisīs in one complete time cycle:
- 1 chovisi in Avasarpiṇī
- 1 chovisi in Utsarpiṇī
So, in one full Kalachakra, there are 48 Tirthankars in total.
Time frame
A chovisi means the period in which 24 Tirthankars appear. These 24 Tirthankars are generally spread across the 3rd and 4th aras of that half-time cycle.In short
- 1 half-cycle = 1 chovisi = 24 Tirthankars
- 1 full cycle = 2 chovisīs = 48 Tirthankars
If you want, I can also explain the 6 aras of each half-cycle in simple terms.
