←The yuga / world-age cycle (Sri Yukteswar's precessional lesser cycle; the greater cycle)Classical
Frawley grounds the yuga DURATIONS of his precessional cycle on Manu Samhita I.68-71: the four ages last 4000/3000/2000/1000 yr plus a transitional period of one-tenth of each age before and after, totalling 12,000 yr for the four ages (x2 passes = 24,000). The cycle's numeric scaffold is derived from this located root passage, Frawley (with Sri Yukteswar) the conduit.
