Vaishampayana said, Having heard the particulars of the great destruction of the Vrishnis, the Kaurava king was determined on leaving the world. He addressed Arjuna saying—'O you of great intelligence, it is time which cooks every creature (in is cauldron), I thing that what has taken place is due to the cords of Time (with which he binds us all). You should also see it.'
वैशम्पायन उवाच श्रुत्वैवं कौरवो राजा वृष्णीनां कदनं महत्। प्रस्थाने मतिमाधाय वाक्यमर्जुनमब्रवीत्॥ काल: पचति भूतानि सर्वाण्येव महामते। कालपाशमहं मन्ये त्वमपि द्रष्टुमर्हसि॥
