A ghati here is a fixed twenty-four minutes — one sixtieth of a mean day, which is what the ladder below defines. The other tradition divides the actual daylight into its own proportional parts, and that is what the muhurta page computes for Brahma and Abhijit. Two conventions, both true, and VEDAUM will not quietly mix them.
