Muhurta
The word Muhurta has a few meanings and references –
Muhurta is a time measure of 48 minutes reckoned from sunrise as a part of definition of linear time concepts (based on the speed of light as in the Rig Veda 1.50). The smallest time unit called nimesha is the smallest humanly conceivable timeframe and is defined as the ‘wink of an eye’.

Shankaracharya’s Prayer
ॐ नारायण परोऽव्यक्तादण्डमव्यक्तसम्भवम्। अण्डस्यान्तस्तित्वमे लोकाः सप्तदीपा च मेदिनि॥
om nārāyaṇa paro’vyaktādaṇḍamavyaktasambhavam| aṇḍasyāntastitvame lokāḥ saptadīpā ca medini||
Translation: OM: NARAYANA IS BEYOND (MUCH ABOVE) THE UNMANIFEST. THE BRAHMANDA (COSMIC EGG) EVOLVES FROM THE UNMANIFEST. THE BRAHMANDA CONTAINS ALL THE WORLDS INCLUDING THIS EARTH WITH ITS SEVEN CONTINENTS.
This prayer of Adi Sankara has been taken from a smriti and gives the ultimate objective of every birth in this world at least.
