त्रसरेणुत्रिकं भुङ्क्ते यः कालः स त्रुटिः स्मृतः ।
शतभागस्तु वेधः स्यात् तैस्त्रिभिस्तु लवः स्मृतः ॥ ६ ॥ trasarenu-trikam bhuṅkte
yah kalah sa trutih smrtah
sata-bhagas tu vedhah syat
tais tribhis tu lavah smrtah
trasarenu-trikam-combination of three hexatoms; bhuṅkte-as they take time to integrate; yah-that which; kalah-duration of time; sah-that; trutih-by the name truti; smrtah-is called; sata-bhagah-one hundred trutis; tu-but; vedhah-called a vedha; syat-it so happens; taih-by them; tribhih-three times; tu-but; lavah-lava; smrtah-so called.
TRANSLATION
The time duration needed for the integration of three trasarenus is called a truti, and one hundred trutis make one vedha. Three vedhas make one lava.
PURPORT
It is calculated that if a second is divided into 1687.5 parts, each part is the duration of a truti, which is the time occupied in the integration of eighteen atomic particles. Such a combination of atoms into different bodies creates the calculation of material time. The sun is the central point for calculating all different durations.
