A palya is a length of time used in Jainism to describe when the Lord Adinath ("First Lord") came to India, 100,000,000,000,000 palyas ago.[1][2] A palya is defined as the time it takes to build a cube of lambswool 1 (or possibly 100) yojans high (between 4 and 9 miles or 6.4 km and 14.5 km), if one strand was laid down every century.

Tempering: Place a small tempering pan over the heat and add oil. When oil is hot add mustard seeds, urad dal, and one red chili. When it starts to splutter, add curry leaves and asafoetida and mix well. Switch off the heat. Add this tempering to the beans palya and mix once again.
