मनुष्याणां च वर्षाणि लक्षासप्तदशैव तु । अष्टाविंशतिसहस्राणि कृतं त्रेतायुगं ततः
manuṣyāṇāṃ ca varṣāṇi lakṣāsaptadaśaiva tu | aṣṭāviṃśatisahasrāṇi kṛtaṃ tretāyugaṃ tataḥ
انسانی برسوں کے حساب سے سترہ لاکھ اور اٹھائیس ہزار مل کر کِرت (ستیہ) یُگ بنتا ہے؛ اس کے بعد تریتا یُگ آتا ہے۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narrative convention)
Scene: A four-panel cosmic timeline beginning with Kṛta-yuga: luminous, orderly world; a celestial scribe inscribing ‘17 lakhs 28 thousand’ on a palm-leaf; transition arrow toward Tretā.

No site is mentioned; the verse is a doctrinal statement on yuga chronology.
None; it provides time-measure background often cited when explaining the decline of Dharma across yugas.
