ऋतवश्वापि युज्यन्ते तथा संवत्सरा अपि | एवं कालविभागेन कालचक्रं प्रवर्तते,भीष्मजीने कहा--कला, काष्ठा, मुहूर्त, दिन, मास, पक्ष, नक्षत्र, ग्रह, ऋतु और संवत्सर--ये सब एक-दूसरेसे जुड़ते हैं। इस तरह कालके इन छोटे-छोटे विभागोंद्वारा यह सम्पूर्ण कालचक्र चल रहा है
ṛtavaśvāpi yujyante tathā saṃvatsarā api | evaṃ kālavibhāgena kālacakraṃ pravartate ||
رتوئیں بھی اسی ترتیب سے جڑتی ہیں اور سال بھی۔ یوں زمانے کی تقسیم کے ذریعے زمانے کا چکر برابر چلتا رہتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
Time is not random; it moves as an ordered cycle. By understanding how smaller units (divisions) connect into larger ones (seasons and years), one sees the steady, law-governed turning of the kālacakra—supporting a dharmic view of cosmic regularity and human humility before time.
Bhīṣma is speaking in an instructive mode, describing how seasons and years are sequentially connected, and using this as a reflection on the continuous operation of the cycle of time.
