Mahābhārata, Śānti-parva 123
कालं॑ सर्वेशमकरोत् संहारविनयात्मकम् | मृत्योक्षतुर्वि भागस्य दुःखस्य च सुखस्य च,संहार और विनय (उत्पादन) जिसका स्वरूप है, उस सर्वेश्वर कालको चार प्रकारकी मृत्युका, सुखका और दुःखका भी स्वामी बनाया
kālaṃ sarveśam akarot saṃhāra-vinayātmakaṃ | mṛtyoś catur-vibhāgasya duḥkhasya ca sukhasya ca ||
Vasuharoma dit : Il fit du Temps —le Seigneur suprême en qui résident dissolution et surgissement— le souverain de la quadruple division de la mort, et pareillement de la peine et du bonheur.

Educational Q&A
Time (Kāla), as a supreme governing principle, presides over dissolution and origination and thus over death (in its classified forms) as well as over human experiences of sorrow and happiness; this encourages humility, acceptance, and dharmic steadiness amid change.
Vasuharoma is describing a cosmological arrangement: Time is established as the overarching ruler whose nature includes both destruction and generation, and under whose authority fall death’s divisions and the alternating experiences of pain and pleasure.
