Mrityu said Everything is done under the influence of Kala. I have said it before, O fowler, that Kala is the cause of all and therefore we both, acting under the influence of Kala, do our appointed work and, therefore, O fowler, we two should not be blamed by you.
मृत्युरुवाच या काचिदेव चेष्टा स्यात् सर्वा कालप्रचोदिता। पूर्वमेवैतदुक्तं हि मया लुब्धक कालतः॥ तस्मादुभौ कालवशावावां निर्दिष्टकारिणौ। नावां दोषेण गन्तव्यौ त्वया लुब्धक कर्हिचित्॥
