so 'nanto 'nta-karaḥ kālo
'nādir ādi-kṛd avyayaḥ
janaṁ janena janayan
mārayan mṛtyunāntakam
Unchangeable time, without beginning but causing everyone’s birth, creates population through mothers and fathers; and time, without end but causing everyone’s end, destroys those subject to death, by death.
Time, creating population through people, mothers and fathers, is the creator (ādi-kṛt).
