The first eight years in men's lives is the period of Balarishta — ills that afflict children. Till the 20th year, they say, it is the Yogarishta period (evil brought on by planetary conjunctions). It is called Alpayus or shortlife when the period extends to 32. It is called Madhyamayus or middle age when the period of life extends to 70 years. It is Purnayus when the period of life extends to 100 years.
