Salutations to you who are the eldest-born, who are the foremost of all creatures, and who are the crusher of the Asura Vala. Salutations to you who are the Master of Time, who are the personification of Kalpa; who are the embodiment of all kinds of destruction great and small.
नमो ज्येष्ठाय श्रेष्ठाय बलप्रमथनाय च। कालनाथाय कल्याय क्षयायोपक्षयाय च॥
