The Supreme Lord declared, with a voice that cracks the sky: “I am Time, the great destroyer, grown immensely high. To gather all these people, this battlefield’s my stage,
Except for you, Pandavas, escaping cosmic rage, All warriors arrayed against you, on this fateful, final day, Will be annihilated, there’s no other way.”Yo, let the truths detonate now, Lord Krishna’s word, a cosmic vow. A revelation of My nature, a force you can’t defy, The ultimate obliterator, beneath a weeping sky.

Verse 1 Though you know Me, Arjuna, as friend and God supreme, The myriad forms I manifest, may shatter every dream. You question the intent, of this devastating might, But Vedic truths affirm it, I extinguish every light. Eventually all beings, from scholars to the kings, Are swallowed by the Supreme, as nature’s order sings. This form you witness, Arjuna, the giant all-devouring whole, I stand as Time incarnate, claiming every single soul. Chorus I am Time, the world’s erosion, the force that knows no stall, Come here to seize all people, to answer nature’s call. Except for your small faction, all present here will fall, These opposing ranks of soldiers, will heed destruction’s squall.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

Verse 2 You favor no engagement, you think it’s best to yield, Avoid the bitter struggle, on this blood-soaked field. But even if you falter, and your mighty bow you keep, These warriors face their ending, in death they will sleep This is My fixed intention, the cosmic plan unfolds, Their mortal coil unravels, as destiny beholds. If you refuse to battle, their end will find them fast, The grip of death is certain, its shadow ever cast. Chorus I am Time, the world’s erosion, the force that knows no stall, Come here to seize all people, to answer nature’s call. Except for your small faction, all present here will fall, These opposing ranks of soldiers, will heed destruction’s squall.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. V

Verse 3 They are already vanquished, their fate is sealed and done, Time is the great annihilator, beneath the setting sun. All earthly manifestations, are destined to decay, By the Supreme Lord’s desire, there is no other way. This is the law of nature, a truth you can’t evade, Their finite existence, is ultimately swayed. So understand My power, this form you see displayed, The agent of all ending, a truth that can’t be swayed. Bridge Resistance is futile, against the tide of fate, My will is the current, that seals their mortal state. Embrace the cosmic order, the cycle of demise, For I am Time’s dominion, reflected in your eyes. Outro So rise, Arjuna, warrior, and play your destined part, These souls are Mine already, ripped from life’s frail chart. The instrument of ending, is what you’re meant to be, In the grand theater of cosmos, eternally.
