दिनांतश्चैव पक्षांतो मासांतो हायनं युगम् । कल्पांतश्च महांतश्च कालांतस्त्वं च वै हरे
dināṃtaścaiva pakṣāṃto māsāṃto hāyanaṃ yugam | kalpāṃtaśca mahāṃtaśca kālāṃtastvaṃ ca vai hare
يا هري، أنت نهايةُ اليوم، ونهايةُ نصف الشهر، ونهايةُ الشهر، ومنعطفُ السنة والعصور. أنت نهايةُ الكَلْبَة، ونهايةُ الدورات العظمى، بل أنت حقًّا نهايةُ الزمان ذاته.
Unspecified (contextual eulogy within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa; likely a devotee/narrator addressing Hari)
Listener: Sages / internal addressee: King (nṛpa)
Scene: Hari as Kāla: a vast figure behind a wheel of time marked with day/fortnight/month/year/yuga/kalpa; below, worlds dissolve into oceanic pralaya, while the deity remains serene, indicating transcendence over dissolution.
It teaches that Hari (Viṣṇu) transcends all temporal divisions—from daily time to cosmic aeons—and is the ultimate reality beyond the rise and fall of all cycles.
This verse functions primarily as a theological praise of Hari as Kāla’s limit; the specific Dharmāraṇya sacred geography is not explicitly named within this single shloka.
No direct injunction (snāna, dāna, vrata, or japa) appears in this verse; it is a stuti emphasizing contemplative recognition of Hari’s supremacy over time.
