आकाशस्तु ततो व्यापी सर्वेषां सर्वगः स्थितः॥ आकाशे तु विलीयंते संभवंति पुनस्ततः ॥ ६ ॥

The ether is all-pervasive. The elements merge in ether and are reborn therefrom.

english translation

वियोगे तु सदा कस्य स्वं धाम प्रतिपेदिरे ॥ तस्या स्थिरता चास्ति सन्निपातस्य सुंदरि ॥ ७ ॥

When the ether is disintegrated the elements resort to their causes. O beautiful woman, there is no stability for this conglomeration.

english translation

ज्ञानिनोऽपि तथा तत्र तपोमंत्रबलादपि ॥ ते सर्वे सुविजानंति सर्वमेतन्न संशयः ॥ ८॥

There is no doubt that the wise know all this perfectly through the power of austerity and mantras.

english translation

देव्युवाच ॥ खं तेन यन्नश्यति घोररूपः कालः करालस्त्रिदिवैकनाथः ॥ दग्धस्त्वया त्वं पुनरेव तुष्टः स्तोत्रै स्तुतः स्वां प्रकृतिं स लेभे ॥ ९॥

The goddess said:— Kāla of terrible form, the awful sole lord of the gods, perishes while taking them to the Ether. He was burnt by you. When eulogised you were pleased and then you revived him to life.

english translation

त्वया स चोक्तः कथया जनानामदृष्टरूपः प्रचरिष्यसीति ॥ दृष्टस्त्वया तत्र महाप्रभावः प्रभोर्वरात्ते पुनरुत्थितश्च॥ १०॥

Kāla was addressed by you. “In the talk of the people you will be moving about in the invisible form.” He of great power was seen by you there. By means of the boon granted by you he was reborn.
