The Enigma Of The Universe : 2. Uddhāra palyopama

Each hair-tip (as described above) is cut into a number of pieces equivalent to the number of samayas in uncountable crore years and the cylindrical vessel or pit is made cram-full with these hair-pieces. Every samaya, a single piece is removed from it. The total period of time that elapses for emptying it completely is called uddhāra palyopama. In this way-

1 uddhāra palyopama = (4.13 x 10⁴⁴) x (number of samayas in uncountable crore years) samayas

 If the number of samayas in one year be a₁, and uncountable years be a₂, then

1 uddhāra palyopama = (4.13 x 10⁴⁴ x a₁ x a₂ x 10⁷) samayas, but a₁ = one year.

So,

1 uddhāra palyopama = (4.13 x 10⁴⁴ x 10⁷ x a₂) years

= (10⁵ x a₂) vyavahāra palyopamas.
