8.17 Those people who know the day of Brahma which is of a duration of a thousand Yugas (ages) and the night which is also of a thousand Yugas duration, they know day and night.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish
By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together form the duration of Brahmā’s one day. And such also is the duration of his night.
