TEXT 39
kālo 'yaṁ paramāṇv-ādir
dvi-parārdhānta īśvaraḥ
naiveśituṁ prabhur bhūmna
īśvaro dhāma-māninām
SYNONYMS
kālaḥ—the eternal time; ayam—this; parama-aṇu—atom; ādiḥ—beginning from; dvi-parārdha—two superdurations of time; antaḥ—to the end; īśvaraḥ—controller; na—never; eva—certainly; īśitum—to control; prabhuḥ—capable; bhūmnaḥ—of the Supreme; īśvaraḥ—controller; dhāma-māninām—of those who are body conscious.
TRANSLATION
Eternal time is certainly the controller of different dimensions, from that of the atom up to the superdivisions of the duration of Brahmā's life; but, nevertheless, it is controlled by the Supreme. Time can control only those who are body conscious, even up to the Satyaloka or the other higher planets of the universe.
