कालोऽमूं दिवमजनयत् काल इमाः पृथिवीरुत। काले ह भूतं भव्यं चेषितं ह वि तिष्ठते
kāló ’mū́ṃ dívaṃ ajanayat kālá imā́ḥ pṛthivī́r utá | kālé há bhūtáṃ bhávyam ceṣitáṃ há ví tíṣṭhate ||
Time generated yonder heaven; Time also these broad earths. In Time, indeed, what hath been and what shall be, and what is set in motion—therein it standeth forth, distributed and established.
时间（Kāla）生出那高天；时间亦生出这广阔的大地。在时间之中，确然地：已然者、将来者，以及被推动而起行者——都在其中显现，分布而安立。
Rishi: Atharvanic seer-tradition (Kāla-sūkta)
Devata: Kāla
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (with Atharvanic expansions)
