Translation
Two solar movements make one day and night of the demigods, and that combination of day and night is one complete calendar year for the human being. The human being has a duration of life of one hundred years.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The two fortnights are one month. This total is a day and night for the Pitṛs. Two months make a season. Six months makes a southern half year and northern half year. Two half years make a day and night for the devatās in heaven. Twelve months make a year. One hundred years is described as the duration of life for human beings.
Divi is connected the second verse. Two half years make one day and night for the devatās in heaven (divi). Twelve months make a year.
