Kalpa
Kalpa. In Hinduism, a day and a night in the life of Brahmā, consisting of four yugas, i.e. one mahā (great) yuga; or sometimes calculated as 1,000 yugas; in any case, an immense endurance of time.
In Buddhism (Pāli, kappa), the length of a kalpa is equally vast: through the four stages of a kalpa, a universe arises, continues, declines, persists in chaos. Within this mahākalpa, there are twenty small kalpas.
