[td]According to Jain texts, we are currently in the fifth period, which began in 525 BCE and will end in the year 20,476 CE. As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, exactly 2,{{age in years|January 1, 1476}} years have elapsed and 18,{{age in years||January 1, 2477}} years are still left. It is an age of sorrow and misery. The maximum age a person can live to in this ara is not more than 125 years. The average height of people in this era is six feet tall. No liberation is possible, although people practice religion in lax and diluted forms. At the end of this ara, even the Jain religion will disappear, only to appear again with the advent of 1st Tirthankara in the next cycle.{{sfn|Champat Rai Jain|1935|p=51-53}}[/td] [td][/td]
