Verse 12.37
पंचाशं च अभूषि वर्षसहस्राणि आयुःपरिमाणं ।
मनुजान एवं न विमति कार्या तत्रोपदेशस्मिं ॥ ३७ ॥
paṃcāśaṃ ca abhūṣi varṣasahasrāṇi āyuḥparimāṇaṃ |
manujāna evaṃ na vimati kāryā tatropadeśasmiṃ || 37 ||
The span of man’s life was then fifty-thousand years, and thus there was no occasion for doubt as to what was then taught. (37)
