世

(sa) yuga. An age, 1, 000th part of a kalpa. (sa) loka, the world. 世 originally meant a human generation, a period of thirty years; it is used in Buddhism both for (sa) yuga, a period of time ever flowing, and (sa) loka, the world, worldly, earthly. The world is that which is to be destroyed; it is sunk in the round of mortality, or transmigration; and conceals, or is a veil over reality.
