What time duration is chaturth kal
3
Answer
In Jain Dharma, the Chaturth Kāl — the fourth era of the descending time cycle, called Duḥṣamā-Suṣamā Kāl — lasts for:
1 Koḍākoḍī Sāgaropam
Explanation
According to Jain cosmology, time moves in two half-cycles:
- Utsarpiṇī – ascending time cycle
- Avasarpiṇī – descending time cycle
Each half-cycle has six eras, called Ārās.
In the present Avasarpiṇī, the fourth era is called:
Duḥṣamā-Suṣamā
This was the era in which the 24 Tirthankars of the present Avasarpiṇī appeared, including Bhagwan Rishabhdev and Bhagwan Mahavir.
Its duration is:
1 Koḍākoḍī Sāgaropam
A Sāgaropam is an extremely vast Jain time unit, beyond ordinary human calculation.
Takeaway
Chaturth Kāl = Duḥṣamā-Suṣamā Kāl = 1 Koḍākoḍī Sāgaropam.
