It kind of makes sense for Treta Yuga to be the default Yuga, as its number of legs is the average number of legs:

(4(4)+3(3)+2(2)+1(1))/(4+3+2+1) = 3

i.e., If you average the dharma in all Yugas you get the dharma in Treta Yuga as the default yuga.

Still, I don't know where this author is getting the realms of perpetual Treta Yuga from, so I would like a scriptural source for this idea. So does any scripture enjoin Treta Yuga as the default state of Dharma ?

  • What does it mean by "default" Tretâ?

    Description of Plakshadvipa. As per Brahmanda Purana, Anuṣaṅga-pāda, Chapter 19 verse 24: न तत्रास्ति युगावस्था चतुर्युगकृता क्वचित्। त्रेतायुगसमः कालः सर्वदा तत्र वर्त्तते॥१९.२४॥ - There is no peculiar state of affairs as pertaining to the Yugas, conditioned by the four Yugas. A period like Tretā yuga is perpetually present there.

  • @Vivikta If you average the dharma in all Yugas you get the dharma in Treta Yuga, as I explained with the maths. May 26, 2021 at 11:32
  • @AupakaranaAbhibhaa This seems like faulty math; you factored in every Yuga into the calculation EXCEPT Treta Yuga. You should also provide units for every number to make sure that your reasoning is actually sound. May 26, 2021 at 16:34
  • @MassEnquirer It wouldn't have made a difference if Treta is the average. You can omit as many data entries that are the average from a data set and the average will not change. You can also add as many as you like and the average will not change. May 26, 2021 at 16:37
