n. In Hindu chron., a day of Brahma, a period of 4,320,000,000 years, equivalent to a thousand great ages (mahāyuga); an eon. At the end of the eon, the cosmos is resolved again into chaos, and has to be created anew at the end of another like period, constituting a night of the Supreme Being. Also spelled calpa.
