Samayā

In contemporary usage, samayam means time in Dravidian languages such as Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil,[4] and samay in Indo-Aryan languages such as Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati.

The following are measures of time as adopted by Jainism: When an Arihant reaches the stage of moksha (liberation), the soul travels to the Siddhashila (highest realm in universe) in one samaya.

[6] The samayachakra is the great chariot wheel of time which turns relentlessly forward.

Samayam is a term used in Indian classical music to loosely categorize ragas into times of day.

The time concept in Gandharva-Veda is more strictly adhered to than it would be, for example, in Carnatic music.

The Ashoka Chakra has a spoke for each of 24 hours in a day.
