Time of destruction and updates - Maha Kala

The sages said:
1. Everything comes from Kala and is destroyed through it. There is nothing independent of Time anywhere.
2. The whole universe, caught in his mouth, rotates like a wheel through the activity of creation and destruction.
3. Under his rule, Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, gods and asuras cannot violate the laws of Dharma.
4. He defines himself by the factors of the past, present and future and makes people grow old. At the same time, it is extremely scary to freely rule over all the CMU.
5. O skilful one, please tell us. Who is this Lord of Time? Under whose control is it located? Who does not fall under his power?

Vayu said:
6. This is the great splendor of Lord Shiva named Kalatman. Kala, chestnut, Nimesha are the forms that he embodies.
7. It is the power of the Lord that governs the universe in the form of instructions that are indescribable for a universe consisting of mobile and immobile beings.
8. The force in the form of Time consists of its various parts. It comes out of him and penetrates him like a piece of steel that sheds sparks of fire.
9. The universe is under the rule of Time. Kala is not under the control of the universe. Kala is under the rule of Shiva. Shiva does not submit to his authority.
10. Since the unobstructed splendor of Shiva is firmly fixed in Kala, the limit of Kala is vast and indescribable.

11. Who can go beyond Time with the help of reason? No one can go beyond the karma committed by Kala.
12. Even those who attack the earth and rule it under one umbrella cannot go beyond Time, like the oceans that do not go beyond the shores.
13. Even those who control their senses and conquer the universe cannot conquer Kala. Kala suppresses them.
14. Doctors who are well versed in medicines regularly take elixirs and aphrodisiacs that do not prevent death. Indeed, the Stool is indescribable.
15. Jiva offers something based on his fame, beauty, behavior, strength and lineage, but Kala disposes of it.
16. Through pleasant, unpleasant and unexpected connections, Kala unites and separates living beings.

17. At the same time, when one person is unhappy, the other is very happy. The truly irrefutable nature of Time is wonderful.
18. A young man turns into an infirm old man. A strong person becomes weak. A rich person becomes deprived of wealth. O brahmanas, the ways of Kala are amazing.
19. Neither nobility of origin, nor good behavior, nor strength, nor skill have any meaning. Kala is invulnerable.
20. Kala is impartial in his activities towards those who are well protected by songs and musical instruments, as well as those who are helpless, living in the valleys.
21. Even elixirs, medicinal herbs and good medicines have no effect if the time is not right. It is these things, put into use at the right time, that are effective and bring happiness.

22. No one dies or is born prematurely. No one blooms long before the right time. No one is happy or unhappy until the time comes for it. There is no such thing that would be untimely.
23. At the right time, a cool wind blows, it rains; the heat subsides, and everything grows.
24. Kala is the cause of all births. Plants grow and die in their own time. The living world enters into life.
25. The one who thus correctly understands the principle of Time goes beyond it and sees what is beyond the Kala.
