Chapter [Sarga] 63

3. adya tu= as of now, but; etasya kaalasya= of this, time; sa agram= with, a little more; varSa shatam= years, hundred; gatam= slipped by; muneH vacaH= sage's, words; hR^idi kR^itvaa= in heart, on making [minding]; desha kaala pratiikSaH asmi= place [events,] time, awaiting.

"As of now, a little more than a hundred years have slipped by, and I am awaiting events and times minding sage's words in my heart... [4-63-3]


note in the site:
There is an inconsistency in accounting the years of Sage Nishaakara's living, dying and Sampaati's continuation on that mountain after sage's demise. It is said: 'for me lapsed are eight thousand years, without him...' at 4-60-9 by Sampaati and here he alone is saying that one hundred years are elapsed. For this there is another shade given to this verse in other mms and the compound varSa shatam gatam is replaced with varSa shata trayam 'years, hundred, three, three hundred years...' then the meaning will be 'that sage lived for eight thousand years, and he died a hundred years back, and I have been waiting for three hundred years after his demise...'

Therefore Nishakar Muni was alive(took birth) 8100 years before Ram.

Ram was in last quarter of Treta Yuga(=3600 years) i.e He must precede 3100 + 2400=5500 BC and should be after 5500+900=6400BC
Lets say he was in 5600 BC

So Nishakar Muni was born around 8100+5600=13700 BC to 14600 BC.

If we take this Nishakar Muni as the same Chandrama who is called the origin of Lunar dynasty then he was born several centuries before Nahusha.

Rule of Nahusha ended around 10000+3100=13100 BC as explained in another thread with a reference from Mahabharata.

The gap between birth of Nishakar Muni and fall of Nahusha was therefore between 600 years (13700-13100) to 1500 years(14600-13100).

Lunar dynasty's geneology was as follow:
Chandrama
Budha
Pururva
Aayu
Nahusha
Yayati
...


They all belonged to Krita Yuga in which normal age of humans was 400 years as per Manu Smriti.....so it is not a wonder that only 5 generations were there in a period of around 600 years. Even in kaliYuga 5 generations can take around 150 years because human age is only 100 years...so 150*4=600 years.
