ततः कालात्मको यो ऽसौ स चांशः कथितो हरेः स पातयत्य् अघं घोरम् अल्पम् अल्पाल्पसारवत्
tataḥ kālātmako yo 'sau sa cāṃśaḥ kathito hareḥ sa pātayaty aghaṃ ghoram alpam alpālpasāravat
پس جو اصول اپنی فطرت میں کال (زمان) ہے، وہ ہری کا ایک اَংশ کہا گیا ہے۔ اسی کے ذریعے ہولناک پاپ بھی گرتا اور مٹتا جاتا ہے—تھوڑا تھوڑا کر کے—جیسے کم جوہر والی شے بتدریج گھٹتی رہتی ہے۔
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
This verse identifies Kāla as a portion of Hari, making Time a divine instrument that governs change and the gradual wearing away of karmic evil.
Parāśara presents sin as something that can be made to “fall away” over time—diminishing incrementally—through the operation of Kāla under Vishnu’s sovereignty.
Vishnu is portrayed as the Supreme source whose power manifests as Time itself, implying that cosmic law and karmic purification operate under His ultimate lordship.
