यन्मुहूर्तः प्रजेशस्य स मनोर्जीवितं मुनेः ।
जीवितं यद्विरिञ्चस्य तद्दिनं किल चक्रिणः ॥ २५ ॥

yanmuhūrtaḥ prajeśasya sa manorjīvitaṃ muneḥ |
jīvitaṃ yadviriñcasya taddinaṃ kila cakriṇaḥ || 25 ||

What was a moment to Brahma, was the whole age of the life-time of Manu (Noah); and what is a day to Vishnu, constitutes the long period of the life-time of Brahma.
