तदद्य भोः काल इहास्थि किंचिन्निहन्यते येन वदस्व तन्मे ॥ त्वं योगिवर्यः प्रभुरात्मतंत्रः परोपकारात्ततनुर्महेश ॥ ११ ॥
Hence there is Kāla here. Something is killed by him. Please mention that to me. You are the foremost among Yogins. You are self-controlled lord. O lord Śiva, you take up physical bodies for helping others.

Śiva said:— Kāla is not killed by the leading gods, Daityas, Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, serpents and human beings. But those embodied beings who are Yogins engrossed in meditation can easily kill Kāla.

Sanatkumāra said:— On hearing this from Śiva, the preceptor of the three worlds, Gaurī laughed and said “Please tell me the truth. How is this Kāla killed? By whom is it killed? Śiva told her immediately “O moon-faced lady, those who are sinless Yogins hurl the serpent Kāla entirely. Listen to that with concentration.”
