सनत्कुमार उवाच ।। एतच्छ्रुत्वा त्रिभुवनगुरोः प्राह गौरी विहस्य सत्यं त्वं मे वद कथमसौ हन्यते येन कालः ।। शम्भुस्तामाह सद्यो हि मकरवदने योगिनो ये क्षिपंति कालव्यालं सकलमनघास्तच्छृणुष्वैकचित्ता ।। १३ ।।
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.”
