Ādi-līlā, Chapter 3

TRANSLATION
Thinking thus, the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, descended at Nadia early in the age of Kali.
PURPORT
The  prathama-sandhyā  is the beginning of the age. According to astronomical calculation, the age is divided into twelve parts. The first of these twelve divisions is known as the  prathama-sandhyā . The  prathama-sandhyā  and  śeṣa-sandhyā , the last division of the preceding age, form the junction of the two ages. According to the  Sūrya-siddhānta , the  prathama-sandhyā  of the Kali-yuga lasts 36,000 solar years. Lord Caitanya appeared in the  prathama-sandhyā  after 4,586 solar years of Kali-yuga had passed.
