कालः
पचति भूतानि, कालः संहरते प्रजाः |
कालः सुप्तेषु जागर्ति, कालो हि दुरतिक्रमः ||
कालः सुप्तेषु जागर्ति, कालो हि दुरतिक्रमः ||
Time devours all things, Time kills all that are born.
Time is awake while all else sleeps, Time is insurmountable.
Time is awake while all else sleeps, Time is insurmountable.
