Yudishthira +

One of the heroes of the ''Mahâbharata''. The eldest brother of the Pândavas, or the five Pându princes who fought against their next of kin, the Kauravas, the sons of their maternal uncle. Arjuna, the disciple of Krishna, was his younger brother. The ''Bhagavad Gitâ'' gives mystical particulars of this war. Kunti was the mother of the Pândavas, and Draupadî the wife in common of the five brothers — an allegory. But Yudishthira is also, as well as Krishna, Arjuna, and so many other heroes, an historical character, who lived some 5,000 years ago, at the period when the Kali Yuga set in.

Yuga +

A 1,000th part of a Kalpa. An age of the World of which there are four, and the series of which proceed in succession during the manvantaric cycle. Each Yuga is preceded by a period called in the ''Purânas'' Sandhyâ, twilight, or transition period, and is followed by another period of like duration called Sandhyânsa, “portion of twilight”. Each is equal to one‐tenth of the Yuga. The group of four Yugas is first computed by the ''divine ''years, or “ years of the gods” — each such year being equal to 360 years of mortal men. Thus we have, in “divine” years : 1. Krita or Satya Yuga ‐ ‐ 4,000 Sandhyâ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ 400 Sandhyansa ‐ ‐ ‐ 400 4,800 2. Tretâ Yuga ‐ ‐ ‐ 3,000 Sandhyâ ‐ ‐ ‐ 300 Sandhyânsa ‐ ‐ ‐ 300 3,600 3. Dwâpara Yuga ‐ ‐ ‐ 2,000 Sandhya ‐ ‐ ‐ 200 Sandhyânsa ‐ ‐ ‐ 200 2,400 4. Kali Yuga ‐ ‐ ‐ 1,000 Sandhyâ ‐ ‐ ‐ 100 Sandhyânsa ‐ ‐ ‐ 100 1,200 Total = 12,000 This rendered in years of mortals equals: 4800 X 360 = 1,728,000 3600 X 360 = 1,296,000 2400 X 360 = 864,000 1200 X 360 = 432,000 Total = 4,320,000 The above is called a Mahâyuga or Manvantara. 2,000 such Mahâyugas, or a period of 8,640,000 years, make a Kalpa the latter being only a “day and a night”, or twenty‐four hours, of Brahmâ. Thus an “age of Brahmâ”, or one hundred of his divine years, must equal 311,040,000,000,000 of our mortal years. The old Mazdeans or Magi (the modern Parsis) had the same calculation, though the Orientalists do not seem to perceive it, for even the Parsi Moheds themselves have forgotten it. But their “Sovereign time of the Long Period” (''Zervan Dareghâ Hvadâta'') lasts 12,000 years, and these are the 12,000 ''divine ''years of a Mahâyuga as shown above, whereas the'' Zervan Akarana'' (Limitless Time), mentioned by Zarathustra, is the ''Kâla'', out of space and time, of Parabrahm.

Z

Z +

'''Z''' — The 26th letter of the English alphabet. It stands as a numeral for 2,000, and with a dash over it thus, Z, equals 2,000,000.

The number twenty‐six is held most sacred by the Kabbalists, being equal to the numerical value of the letters of the Tetragrammaton — thus he vau he yod 5 + 6 + 5 + 10 = 26 [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
