मुहूर्त्तानां तथैवादिर्मुहूर्त्तो रुद्रदैवतः / क्षणश्चापि निमेषादिः कालः कालविदां वराः
muhūrttānāṃ tathaivādirmuhūrtto rudradaivataḥ / kṣaṇaścāpi nimeṣādiḥ kālaḥ kālavidāṃ varāḥ
Among the muhūrtas, the first muhūrta has Rudra as its presiding deity; and the kṣaṇa too begins with the nimeṣa and the rest—O best of time-knowers, this is Kāla.
