AVŚ 19.53.2

सप्त चक्रान् वहति काल एष सप्तास्य नाभीर् अमृतं न्व् अक्षः । स इमा विश्वा भुवनान्य् अञ्जत् कालः स ईयते प्रथमो नु देवः ॥२॥

sapta cakrān vahati kāla eṣa saptāsya nābhīr amṛtaṃ nv akṣaḥ | sa imā viśvā bhuvanāny añjat kālaḥ sa īyate prathamo nu devaḥ ||2||

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

Seven wheels doth this time drive; seven [are] his naves, immortality (amṛ́ta) forsooth [his] axle; he, time, including (?) all these beings, goes on as first god.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
