10.30 prahlādaś cāsmi daityānāṁ (Original)

SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:

prahlādaś cāsmi daityānāṁ
kālaḥ kalayatām aham
mṛgāṇāṁ ca mṛgendro ’haṁ
vainateyaś ca pakṣiṇām

‘Of Daityas[2. The progeny of Diti.], I am Prahlāda; of meters, Time, I (am); of animals too, I (am) the lion, and of birds, Vainateya.’

Kāla=Time=Mṛityu=Death, one of those agencies that keep reckoning at time to cause catastrophes.

>> Chapter 10 verse 31
