19.53.1
कालो अश्वो वहति सप्तरश्मिः सहस्राक्षो अजरो भूरिरेताः ।
तमा रोहन्ति कवयो विपश्चितस्तस्य चक्रा भुवनानि विश्वा ॥ १९.५३.१ ॥
Time is a horse that bears seven reins, a thousand eyes, ageless, of abundant seed; wise seers mount it, and all worlds are its wheels.
19.53.2
सप्त चक्रान् वहति काल एष सप्तास्य नाभीरमृतं न्वक्षः ।
स इमा विश्वा भुवनान्यञ्जत्कालः स ईयते प्रथमो नु देवः ॥ १९.५३.२ ॥
Time drives these seven wheels; it has seven hubs, and its axle is immortal. He adorns all these worlds; that Time moves as the first god.
19.53.3
पूर्णः कुम्भोऽधि काल आहितस्तं वै पश्यामो बहुधा नु सन्तम् ।
स इमा विश्वा भुवनानि प्रत्यङ्कालं तमाहुः परमे व्योमन् ॥ १९.५३.३ ॥
A full jar is set upon Time; we see him present in many forms. He faces all these worlds; they call that Time the one in the highest firmament.
19.53.4
स एव सं भुवनान्याभरत्स एव सं भुवनानि पर्यैत् ।
पिता सन्न् अभवत्पुत्र एषां तस्माद्वै नान्यत्परमस्ति तेजः ॥ १९.५३.४ ॥
He alone gathers all worlds together, and he alone goes around all worlds. Though he is their father, he became their son as well; therefore there is no other supreme radiance beyond him.
19.53.5
कालोऽमूं दिवमजनयत्काल इमाः पृथिवीरुत ।
काले ह भूतं भव्यं चेषितं ह वि तिष्ठते ॥ १९.५३.५ ॥
Time brought forth that heaven, and Time brought forth these earths as well. In Time indeed what has been, what is to be, and what is set in motion stands distinctly.
19.53.6
कालो भूतिमसृजत काले तपति सूर्यः ।
काले ह विश्वा भूतानि काले चक्षुर्वि पश्यति ॥ १९.५३.६ ॥
Time created prosperity; in Time the sun burns. In Time indeed are all beings; in Time the eye sees distinctly.
19.53.7
काले मनः काले प्राणः काले नाम समाहितम् ।
कालेन सर्वा नन्दन्त्यागतेन प्रजा इमाः ॥ १९.५३.७ ॥
In time is the mind, in time the breath, in time the name is established. By time, by the time that has come, all these creatures rejoice.
19.53.8
काले तपः काले ज्येष्ठं काले ब्रह्म समाहितम् ।
कालो ह सर्वस्येश्वरो यः पितासीत्प्रजापतेः ॥ १९.५३.८ ॥
In time is austerity, in time the eldest, in time the sacred power is established. Time indeed is the lord of all, who was the father of Prajāpati.
19.53.9
तेनेषितं तेन जातं तदु तस्मिन् प्रतिष्ठितम् ।
कालो ह ब्रह्म भूत्वा बिभर्ति परमेष्ठिनम् ॥ १९.५३.९ ॥
Impelled by him, born by him, and that is founded in him. Time itself, having become the sacred power, bears up the Supreme Standing One.
19.53.10
कालः प्रजा असृजत कालो अग्रे प्रजापतिम् ।
स्वयंभूः कश्यपः कालात्तपः कालादजायत ॥ १९.५३.१० ॥
Time created the creatures; time created Prajāpati at the beginning. The self-existent Kaśyapa was born from time; austerity was born from time.
