pati—husband and wife; tatra—there; samudya—being equally enthusiastic;
samayam—accepting one another; mithah—mutually; tam—in that place;
pravisya—entering; purim—in that city; rajan—O King; mumudate—they

TRANSLATION

The great sage Narada continued: My dear King, those two—the man
and the woman—supporting one another through mutual understanding,
entered that city and enjoyed life for one hundred years.

PURPORT

One hundred years is significant in this connection because every human
being is given the concession to live up to a hundred years. The span of life
is different on different planets, according to the planet’s distance from
the sun. In other words, one hundred years on this planet is different from
one hundred years on another planet. Lord Brahma lives for one hundred
years according to time on the Brahmaloka planet, but one day of Brahma
is equal to millions of years on this planet. Similarly, the days on the
heavenly planets are equal to six months on this planet. On every planet,
however, the span of life for a human being is roughly one hundred years.
According to the life spans on different planets, the standards of living
also differ.
