Verse 6.37.20

एवं जगति नृत्यन्ति ब्रह्माण्डे नृत्यमण्डपे ।
कालेन नर्तकेनेव क्रमेण परिशिक्षिताः ॥ २० ॥

evaṃ jagati nṛtyanti brahmāṇḍe nṛtyamaṇḍape |
kālena nartakeneva krameṇa pariśikṣitāḥ || 20 ||

Thus do those different powers act their several parts for ever, in the grand stage of the universe; as the ages, years, months and weeks and days, play their parts under direction of time—the manager of the stage.
