In Time stand presiding this Angiras, the God, and Atharvan likewise. This world and the highest world, the holy worlds, and holy sustaining supports—having conquered all worlds by sacred power, Time moves onward: he, indeed, is the supreme God.
時において主宰して立つのは、神アṅギラス（Aṅgiras）であり、またアタルヴァン（Atharvan）も同じくその上に立つ。この世と最上の世、清浄なる諸世界、そして清浄なる保持と支え——時はブラフマンの霊威（brahman）によってすべての世界を征服し、進みゆく。彼こそ、まことに至上の神である。
Rishi: Ātharvaṇa (late speculative)
Devata: Kāla (Time); with priestly archetypes Angiras/Atharvan as subordinate presences
Chandas: Mixed/late Anuṣṭubh with extended pādas (late AV style)
