Each hair-tip is cut into innumerable pieces, as in the sukṣma uddhāra palyopama. After every hundred years, a single piece is removed from the pit. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called sukṣma addhā palyopama. In this way, one sukṣma addhā palyopama
= {(3.3 x 1036) x 100 x innumerable} years
= {(3.3 x 1038) x innumerable} years.
