कलाकाष्ठादिरूपेण परिणामप्रदायिनि । विश्वस्योपरतौ शक्ते नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥ ९ ॥
kalākāṣhṭhādirūpeṇa pariṇāmapradāyini viśhvasyoparatau śhakte nārāyaṇi namo’stu te
Translation
You who, as the divisions of time (kala, kashtha and the rest), bring about change, and who have the power to withdraw the universe, O Narayani, salutations to you.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
कला, काष्ठा आदि के रूप से क्रमशः परिणाम (अवस्था-परिवर्तन) की ओर ले जाने वाली और विश्व का उपसंहार करने में समर्थ नारायणि! तुम्हें नमस्कार है।
Commentary
Kala and kashtha are small units of time. The Devi is time itself, which changes everything and finally ends everything.
