in Hindu mythology. Three hundred and sixty of our years make one year of the gods, 12,000 years of the gods one generation of the gods, and 71 such generations one Antara that is, 306,720,000 of our fiscal years. This, however, must not be confounded with the days of Brahma; for one day of Brahma is 4,320,000,000 years long; and day and night again as long namely, 8,640,000,000 years. (See NARAJANA).
