Each hundred years, a single hair-tip is removed from the cylindrical pit of the size mentioned above. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called bādara addhā palyopama. As the value of this palyopama remains to be in countable time-units, so it is also only a formal palyopama.
Removing a single hair-tip every hundred years, the pit will be emptied in 100 x 3.3 x 1036 years. In this way, one bādara addhā palyopama
= 100 x 3.3 x 1036 years
= 3.3 x 1038 years
