All Powerful Time

Drona to Jayadrata when approached on Fear from Death from Arjuna

O mighty car-warrior,

  1. tread in the track of thy sires and grandsires! 
  2. Having duly studied the Vedas
  3. thou hast poured libations, according to the ordinance, into fire! 
  4. Thou hast also performed many sacrifices: 
Death cannot, therefore, be an object of terror to thee! (For if thou destination), attaining then to that great good fortune which is unattainable by vile men, thou will acquire all those excellent regions in heaven that are attainable by the might of one's arms! 
  1. The Kaurvas, 
  2. the Pandavas, 
  3. the Vrishnis, and other men, 
  4. as also myself with my son, are all mortal and short-lived! 
Think of this. One after another, all of us, slain by Time which is all powerful, shall go to the other world, carrying with us only our respective deeds 
  1. Those regions that ascetics acquire by undergoing severe penances,
  2. those regions are acquired by heroic Kshatriyas that are observant of the duties of their order. 
Even thus was the ruler of the Sindhus consoled by Bharadwaja's son. Banishing his fear of Partha, he set his heart on battle.

  1. Time that destroyeth the universe. 
  2. It is Time also that createth the worlds. 
  3. There is nothing here that is eternal.
