कालमान-निर्णयः
Determination of the Measures of Time
अब्दे पञ्च सहस्राणि चत्वारिंशद्युतानि च । चत्वारिंशत्सहस्राणि पञ्च लक्षाणि चायुषि
abde pañca sahasrāṇi catvāriṃśadyutāni ca | catvāriṃśatsahasrāṇi pañca lakṣāṇi cāyuṣi
Trong một năm có năm nghìn bốn mươi yuta (hàng vạn). Và trong trọn thọ mạng, theo tổng số, có bốn mươi nghìn cùng năm lakṣa.

Cosmic Event: macro-time computation (year/lifespan) within purāṇic cosmography
By quantifying time and lifespan, the verse urges vairāgya (detachment) and prompts the seeker to prioritize Shiva-bhakti and liberation over fleeting worldly measures.
Awareness of limited time strengthens disciplined Saguna worship—daily Linga-pūjā, remembrance of Shiva as Pati (the Lord), and steady devotion that leads beyond pāśa (bondage).
Use time-awareness to commit to a fixed daily sādhana: japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), Linga-abhiṣeka when possible, and regular application of Tripuṇḍra with mindful remembrance of Shiva.
