Maitreya said: O Vidura, the four millenniums are called the Satya-, Tretā-, Dvāpara- and Kali-yuga. The aggregate number of years of all of these combined is equal to twelve thousand years of the demigods.
Purport

The years of the demigods are equal to 360 years of humankind. As will be clarified in the subsequent verses, 12,000 of the demigods’ years, including the transitional periods which are called yuga-sandhyās, comprise the total of the aforementioned four millenniums. Thus the aggregate of the above-mentioned four millenniums is 4,320,000 years.

Translation
Maitreya said: The four yugas of Satya, Treta, Dvāparā and Kali are described as twelve thousand years of the devatās, including the sandhyā portions. The life spans of Bhrgu and others beyond the kalpa are equal to that of Brahmā. In order to explain the lifespan of Brahmā, the calculation of the yugas is explained. Varsaiḥ means by a thousand years. Avadhānam here means “that which is deposited.” It refers to the sandhyās at the beginning and end of the yuga.
