유가 (힌두교)

힌두교에서 유가는 일반적으로 시대를 나타내는데 사용된다.[1][2]

리그베다에서 유가는 세대, 긴 기간, 매우 짧은 기간 또는 멍에(두 가지를 결합하는 것)를 의미한다.[3] 마하바라타에서 유가와 칼파(브라흐마의 날)라는 단어는 창조와 파괴의 순환을 설명하기 위해 같은 의미로 사용된다.[4]

"유가"라는 이름은 일반적으로 차투르유가, 예를 들어 수리야 싯단타와 바가바드 기타(마하바라타의 일부)에서 4개의 세계 시대(사트야 유가, 트레타 유가, 드와파라 유가, 칼리 유가)의 순환을 나타낸다.[1][5][a]

  1. ↑ The general word "yuga" is sometimes used instead of the more specific word "catur-yuga". A kalpa is described as lasting 1,000 catur-yuga in Bhagavata Purana 12.4.2 ("catur-yuga")[6] and Bhagavad Gita 8.17 ("yuga").[7]

It is quite clear that the smallest unit was the 'nimisah' ['winking of eyes'], and that time in the general sense of past, present and future was indicated by the word 'yuga'.

The word yuga occurs at least thirty-eight times in the Rigveda, but the meaning is rather doubtful. In a few places yuga means yoke ... In many places it appears to refer to a very brief period ... Generally yuga appears to mean in the Rigveda 'generation' (lessening the life of human generations) ... In other places 'yuga' must be given the sense of a 'long period of time' ...

In the Surya-Siddhanta, however, the former term is not once found, and the latter occurs only in these verses; elsewhere, Age (yuga) alone is employed to denote it, and always denotes it, unless expressly limited by the name of the Golden (krta) Age.
