* Cf. Manu I, 73. Sankara says, that this explains why the abodes of Brahma and others are said to be not lasting. They are limited by time. As to ages, Srîdhara says, a human year is a day and night of the gods. Twelve thousand years made of such days and nights make up the four ages: one thousand such ‘ quaternions of ages’ make up a day, and another thousand a night of Brahma. Of such days and nights Brahma has a hundred years to live. At the close of his life, the universe is destroyed.

* Cf. Manu I, 73. Sankara says that this explains why the abodes of Brahma and others are described as impermanent: they are bounded by time. On the subject of ages, Srîdhara says that one human year equals a day and night of the gods. Twelve thousand such divine days and nights make up the four ages; one thousand of these 'quaternions of ages' make up a day of Brahma, and another thousand make up his night. Brahma lives for a hundred years of such days and nights. When his life ends, the universe is destroyed.
