II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
तंव आणिकें एकें I क्षोभें म्हणितलें निकें I तरि भोगिजे एकें I काळें केविं हे II 58 II
तरि ययाचा मारु I देखताति अनिवारु I परी स्वमतीं भरु I अभिमानियां II 59 II
हें जाणों मृत्यू रागिटा I सिंहाडयाचा दरकुटा I परि काय कीजे वांजटा I पूरीजत असे II 60 II
महाकल्पापरौती I कव घालूनि अवचितीं I सत्यलोकभद्रजाती- I आंगीं वाजे II 61 II
लोकपाळ नित्य नवे I दिग्गजांचे मेळावे I स्वर्गींचिये आडवे I रिगोनी मोडी II 62 II
येरें ययाचेनि अंगवातें I जन्ममृत्यूचिये गर्ते I निर्जीवें होऊनि भ्रमितें I जीवमृगें II 63 II
न्याहाळीन पां केव्हडा I पसरलासे चवडा I करूनियां माजिवडा I आकारगजु II 64 II
म्हणोनि काळाची सत्ता I हाचि बोलु निरुता I ऐसे वाद पांडुसुता I क्षेत्रालागीं II 65 II
"Agitatedly someone said, if it is so then why only the Kal (Time/Death) has dominion over the Deha Kshetra (the field of the body)? Despite knowing this inevitability, why you carry false pride of your opinion so stubbornly. All your talk is futile before Kal, like lion's den, a place of extreme danger, hostility and fear. Going beyond Mahakalpa, a "great cycle of time" representing an immensely long epoch that encompasses the entire life span of a universe, including its creation, existence, and destruction, Kal in the form of lion attacks Satyalok depicted as the elephant.
(the image of a lion attacking, killing an elephant is a prominent motif in Indian mythology, often called as Gaja-Simha (Lion-Elephant).
Kal (Time/Death) is depicted as a lion.
Satyalok is depicted as an elephant.
The Kal (lion) destroys Lokpals and the Ashta Diggajas, the eight mythical elephants—Airavat, Pundarik, Vaman, Kumud, Anjana, Pushpadanta, Sarvabhauma, and Supratika—that are believed to support the earth from eight different directions. It's sheer force turns the Jeevas listless, they fall into the jaws of the unending cycle of death and rebirth.
The terrifying jaw of Kal (lion) that holds the huge Satyalok (elephant) in its mouth is vast. And therefore there is no doubt that Kal reigns over Kshetra completely."
