muhurta
Muhūrt ((サンスクリット:मुहूर्त)) is a Hindu unit of measurement for time in the Hindu calendar.
In the Brāhmaṇas, ''muhūrt'' denotes a division of time: one-thirtieth of a day, or a period of forty-eight minutes.〔Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, iii. 10, I, I (for the names); 9, 7; 12, 9, 6; Śatapata Brāhmaṇa, x. 4, 2, 18. 25. 27; 3, 20; xii. 3, 2, 5; x. 4, 4, 4, etc.〕 The sense "moment" is also common in the Brāhmanạs.〔See ''Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft, 9, 139 et seq.; Indische Streifen, I, 92, et seq.''〕 In the Rigveda〔Rigveda iii. 33, 5: 53, 8.〕 we only find the sense "moment."〔Arthur Anthony Macdonnell and Arthur Berriedale Keith, ''Vedic Index of Names and Subjects,'' vol. 2, p. 169. Motilal Banarsidas, London 1912, reprint 1995.〕
==Etymology==
The "Sandhi Vidchhed" for the term is thus: It breaks muhūrt into two parts, "muhu" (moment/immediate) and "ṛta" (order). The author of Ṛg Ved III.33.5 has accordingly created this descriptive term. Ṛta refers to the natural, yearly order of the seasons, so that the term muhūrt refers to the daily reflection of these. Also, cf., ''Śatpath Brāhmaṇa'' X.4.2.18, as below.
