निमेषकाष्ठादिमयः कालरूपक्षणात्मकः । प्रसीद स्वेच्छया रूपं स्वं तेजः शमनं कुरु । त्वं देव जगतां हेतोर्दुःखं सहसि दुःसहम्

Transliteration

nimeṣakāṣṭhādimayaḥ kālarūpakṣaṇātmakaḥ | prasīda svecchayā rūpaṃ svaṃ tejaḥ śamanaṃ kuru | tvaṃ deva jagatāṃ hetorduḥkhaṃ sahasi duḥsaham

Translation

Du, der du die Gestalt der Zeit bist—aus Lidschlägen, kāṣṭhās und anderem gebildet—dessen Wesen der Augenblick als Form der Zeit ist: sei gnädig. Aus eigenem Willen mäßige deine Erscheinung; lass deinen feurigen Glanz sich legen. O Gott, um der Welten willen erträgst du unerträgliches Leid.
