Brahmā’s Day & Night
अहोरात्रBrahmā-ahorātra
8.64 billion years
composed of
one kalpa (day) + one pralaya (night)
One full day of Brahmā — a kalpa of creation, then a night of dissolution, each 4.32 billion years. Through the day fourteen Manus reign; in the night Brahmā sleeps and the three worlds lie withdrawn.
