Muhurta
Muhūrt is a Hindu unit of measurementfor time along with nimesh, kāṣṭhā and kalā[1] in the Hindu calendar. In the Brāhmaṇas, muhūrta denotes a division of time: one-thirtieth of a day, or a period of forty-eight minutes.[2] The sense “moment” is also common in the Brāhmanạs.[3] In the Rigveda[4] we only find the sense “moment.”[5] Further each muhūrta is further divided into 30 (Indian) minutes or kalā (making 30 Kalā ≈ 48 western min). Each kalā is further divided into 30 (Indian) seconds or Kāṣṭhā, making 30 Kāṣṭhā ≈ 1.6 western minute.
Example, El día está dividido en treinta muhurtas. A bajo los nombres y los horarios de cuando aparecen:

It was for this reason that Vyasa didn’t entrust Lomaharsana with a Veda, which must be given only to pure Brahmanas. Vyasa gave Lomaharsana the Itihasas and the Puranas.
