🌌 Cosmic Time — Where This Moment Sits in the Mahāyuga
These five values locate the requested date inside this application's declared proleptic model. Kali Year uses 18 February 3102 BCE as a traditional epoch convention; that convention is not proof of Krishna's historical departure date. Ahargaṇa is this model's day-count from that epoch. Julian Day is a continuous astronomical day-number. Ayanāṁśa is the modelled sidereal/tropical angular offset. Sun-Moon angle determines the computed tithi (0-360° elongation / 12° per tithi).
| Kali Year | 5098 · Kali-5098 |

| Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch) | 1861976.27 · 5097.9 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight |

The five-limb time-elements above (tithi · vāra · nakṣatra · yoga · karaṇa) are not merely external "data points" — they are source-anchored kāla indicators contemplated through the measurement-basis at the seeker's deśa (location). Krishna IS Time (कालः कलयतामहम् · BG 10.30) · and Time is read as one Bindu-aperture. The Diamond of Darśanas helps the reader contemplate this exact moment's pañchāṅga without reducing the Bindu to the computation. → /bindu · the Diamond's structural articulation · *सर्व-दर्शनेषु बिन्दुरेकः · in all darśanas, the Bindu is one*.
