The golden era will have commenced (given that "The life spans of the people were reduced one year with the passage of each century," JS^ 1:47) some 8,400,000 years (= almost 2 maha-yuga-s of 4,320,000 + 2*432,000 years) before S`akya-muni. Inasmuch as this 2-maha-yuga period will have comprised 2 element-eras (metal + earth), 1 each maha-yuga is to be assigned per element; thus extending back through 5 maha-yuga-s, leaving 23 (= 28 - 5) maha-yuga-s (of the 7th manu-antara) to praecede these 5 elements.
