You are Vyasa, the author of the Puranas and other sacred histories, you are the creations of Vyasa's brain both abridged and unabridged; you are the sum-lotal of sentiencies; you are the Season; you are the Year; you are the Month; you are the Fortnight; you are those sacred Days that end or conclude these periods.
व्यासः सर्गः सुसंक्षेपो विस्तरः पर्ययो नरः। ऋतुः संवत्सरो मास: पक्षः संख्यासमापनः॥
