Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 19.53.1

AVŚ 19.53.1

कालो अश्वो वहति सप्तरश्मिः सहस्राक्षो अजरो भूरिरेताः । तम् आ रोहन्ति कवयो विपश्चितस् तस्य चक्रा भुवनानि विश्वा ॥१॥

kālo aśvo vahati saptaraśmiḥ sahasrākṣo ajaro bhūriretāḥ | tam ā rohanti kavayo vipaścitas tasya cakrā bhuvanāni viśvā ||1||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Time (kālá) drives (vah) [as] a horse with seven reins, thousand-eyed, unaging, possessing much seed; him the inspired poets mount; his wheels are all beings (bhúvana).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
