Caturviṃśativāsara (चतुर्विंशतिवासर) refers to the “time period of twenty-four days”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] The Yogin who has become absorbed in the highest reality for twenty-four days (caturviṃśativāsara), has the Siddhi [called] Prākāmya, by which he obtains what he desires. [...]”.
