अग्निनिचयः (Agninichaya) / The Accumulation of Sacred Fire & the Classification of Pitṛs by Time-Order
ऋतुपुत्रार्त्तवाः पञ्च इति सर्गः समासतः / इत्येष बहुमानो वै प्राणिना जीवितानि च / नदीवेग इवासक्तः कालो धावति संहरन्
ṛtuputrārttavāḥ pañca iti sargaḥ samāsataḥ / ityeṣa bahumāno vai prāṇinā jīvitāni ca / nadīvega ivāsaktaḥ kālo dhāvati saṃharan
“Sons of the seasons” and the ārtavas are five—such is the creation in brief. Thus Time, clinging like a river’s rush, speeds on and carries away the lives of beings.
