Recitation with translationEkakshara Upanishad 6

dhātā vidhātā pavanaḥ suparṇo viṣṇur varāho rajanī rahaś ca | bhūtaṃ bhaviṣyatprabhavaḥ kriyāś ca | kālaḥ kramas tvaṃ paramākṣaraṃ ca ||6||

तुम धाता हो, विधाता हो, हवा हो, और वो पक्षी जिसके विंग्स अच्छे हैं। तुम विष्णु हो, वराह रूप वाले, रात हो, और छुपी हुई चीज़ें हो। तुम भूत काल हो, आने वाले काल का सोर्स हो, और सारी कर्म की जड़ हो। तुम टाइम हो, सीक्वेंस हो, और वो अक्षर जो कभी खत्म नहीं होता।

(You are) the establisher and the disposer, the wind, the fair-winged (bird), Viṣṇu, the Boar, night and secrecy; the past and the source of the future, and actions; time and sequence—you are also the supreme Imperishable (Akṣara).

Akṣara Brahman (the imperishable) as the ground of time, causality, and divine functionsMahavakya: Strongly aligns with ‘aham brahmāsmi’/‘ayam ātmā brahma’ when read as the ultimate identity of Self with the ‘paramākṣara’ beyond time (kāla) and sequence (krama).AtharvaChandas: Mixed/irregular (stotra-style; not securely assignable to a single strict meter)
