अग्निनिचयः (Agninichaya) / The Accumulation of Sacred Fire & the Classification of Pitṛs by Time-Order
ऋषय ऊचुः क एष भगवान् कालः सर्वभूतापहारकः / कस्य योनिः किमादिश्च किं सतत्त्वः किमात्मकः
ṛṣaya ūcuḥ ka eṣa bhagavān kālaḥ sarvabhūtāpahārakaḥ / kasya yoniḥ kimādiśca kiṃ satattvaḥ kimātmakaḥ
The Rishis said: “Who is this Bhagavān called Time, the taker-away of all beings? From whom is he born, what is his beginning, what is his true tattva, and what is his very nature?”
