Transliteration
prahlādaśh chāsmi daityānāṁ kālaḥ kalayatām aham mṛigāṇāṁ cha mṛigendro ’haṁ vainateyaśh cha pakṣhiṇām
In plain words
You're terrified right now—of losing control, of the chaos around you, of forces you can't name or stop. Krishna says: I am Time itself, and I am also the one who refuses to break, the devotee whose faith doesn't shatter in the darkness. The same consciousness that holds your anxiety, your anger, your fear—and your spouse's addiction, your enemy's cruelty, the debt that won't return—is one. When you stop splitting the world into what deserves love and what deserves contempt, you find ground that cannot be taken from you.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals himself as Prahlad among demons—the devotee whose unwavering faith transforms darkness into light—and as Time itself, the force that dissolves all illusions of control. He is the lion among beasts and Garuda among birds, the supreme principle manifest in every hierarchy of existence.
When you recognize the divine in both the most exalted and seemingly humble, you stop fragmenting reality into sacred and profane, and begin seeing the One consciousness flowing through all.
