100 years · 36,000 days-and-nights
Brahma's full lifespan — one hundred Brahma-years (two parardhas), about 311.04 trillion human years. Brahma has completed his first parardha; we live in the first day of his fifty-first year. At its end comes the prakritika pralaya.
The whole span of the creator — a hundred of his years, each of 360 days-and-nights. The first parārdha is spent; we stand in the first day of his fifty-first year.
