Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 3
By calculation it is found that one laghu is equal to two minutes.
SB 3.11.7, Translation and Purport: The duration of time of three lavas is equal to one nimeṣa, the combination of three nimeṣas makes one kṣaṇa, five kṣaṇas combined together make one kāṣṭhā, and fifteen kāṣṭhās make one laghu.
By calculation it is found that one laghu is equal to two minutes. The atomic calculation of time in terms of Vedic wisdom may be converted into present time with this understanding.
Fifteen laghus make one nāḍikā, which is also called a daṇḍa.
SB 3.11.8, Translation: Fifteen laghus make one nāḍikā, which is also called a daṇḍa. Two daṇḍas make one muhūrta, and six or seven daṇḍas make one fourth of a day or night, according to human calculation.
SB 3.11.14, Purport:
One laghu - 2 minutes
