Bhagavad Gita 11.32

श्री भगवानुवाच · śrī bhagavānuvāca

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धोलोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः।ऋतेऽपि त्वां न भविष्यन्ति सर्वेयेऽवस्थिताः प्रत्यनीकेषु योधाः॥

kālo'smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddholokānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ |ṛte'pi tvāṃ na bhaviṣyanti sarveye'vasthitāḥ pratyanīkeṣu yodhāḥ ||

The Blessed Lord said, "I am the full-grown, world-destroying Time, now engaged in destroying the worlds. Even without you, none of the warriors arrayed in the hostile armies will live."

Lord Shri Krishna replied: I have shown myself to you as the Destroyer who lays waste the world and whose purpose is destruction. In spite of your efforts, all these warriors gathered for battle shall not escape death.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
