From samaya to Śīrṣaprahelikā are the units of countable time. In reality, countable numbers go beyond Śīrṣaprahelikā,[1] but as they transcend the limit of empirical mathematics, Śīrṣaprahelikā is considered to be the highest countable time-unit.
The units of uncountable time are defined by similies. They are broadly classified into two:
(1) Palyopama (pit-measured time-unit)
(2) Sāgaropama (ocean-measured time-unit)
