The Great Epic of the Bhārata dynasty 13.1.73

13.1.73

bhīṣma uvāca |
tato yathāgataṃ jagmurmṛtyuḥ kālo'tha pannagaḥ |
abhūdviroṣo'rjunako viśokā caiva gautamī || 73 ||

"Bhishma continued, 'Then Kala and Mrityu and the serpent went back to their respective destinations, and Gautami became consoled in mind as also the fowler. Having heard all this, O king, do thou forego all grief, and attain to peace of mind. Men attain to heaven or hell as the result of their own Karma. This evil has neither been of thy own creation, nor of Duryodhana's. Know this that these lords of Earth have all been slain (in this war) as a result of acts of Kalas.'"
