Kalp-Names
See  also    Kalp  for more information on Kalp names

Various names of Kalp, collected from various sources which were given on Kalp Page, are summarized and compared here.
Matsya Puraan - 290.3-12 - 30 Names
Various Sources - random selection - 20 Names
Vaayu Puraan - 1:4:45-49 - 34 Names
Ling Puraan - 1:21:27 - 1:23:33 - 29 Names

For comparison they have been alphabetized here ---
Surprisingly, the present Kalp's name "Shwet Varaah Kalp" is mentioned only in my list, not mentioned in any Puraan. "Shwet" and Varaah" Kalp's names are given individually in two lists - List No 1 and List No 2, but as a joint word "Shwet Varaah" is given in only one list - List No  - "List of Kalp From Various Sources" - means which I collected while reading various scriptures.

If we add all the names of all the lists given above, it looks like the following. For ease of use the list has been alphabetized, this will make easier to identify the duplicates. A total of 86 names have been found in different sources. Only three names (No 16 - Brihat Kalp, No 60 - Saavitra or Saavitree Kalp, and No 83 - Vairaaj Kalp) are found in all the three lists (List No 2 is not taken into consideration as it is not collected in a systematic way - but the list is genuine because those names are real and have been taken from the sources while using them) ----

Note
Thus here are listed a total number of 86 Kalp; but I could not find anywhere the total number of Kalp, for example
--there could be 30 Kalp for each day of each month; or
--whatever which got repeated throughout.
--and the sequence of these Kalp in which they come and go; for example we have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday for days or January February, March etc for months in sequence, but the sequence of these Kalp is not given anywhere.

I read somewhere that Paadm Kalp is the first day of Brahmaa's First Paraardh's Last Day as Brahmaa Jee was born in this Kalp. That is why it is called Paadm Kalp.
--and it is said that the present Kalp is Shwet Varaah Kalp

At one place I read that there is Maareech Kalp also, but I don't find this name in this list
