Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 59
आयुर्मनोर्युगानां च साधिका ह्येकसप्ततिः । चतुर्दशमनूनां च कालेन ब्रह्मणो दिनम्
āyurmanoryugānāṃ ca sādhikā hyekasaptatiḥ | caturdaśamanūnāṃ ca kālena brahmaṇo dinam
La durée des yuga du Manu est de soixante et onze (avec une part additionnelle). Et par l’étendue de quatorze Manu se mesure le « jour de Brahmā ».
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narrative convention)
Scene: A grand cosmic court: Brahmā seated on lotus, a vast sun-arc indicating ‘day of Brahmā’; below, 14 Manu figures in a procession of epochs; a time-river flowing through them labeled ‘71 yugas (and a portion)’ per manvantara.
