Common Interpretations in Sanskrit Texts:

In proper time / at the right moment – Used to indicate that an 

action occurs or is done in accordance with the appropriate timing 

Over a period of time / gradually – Can describe events unfolding 

during the course of time or after some time has passed, as seen 

in classical texts like the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa 

Favored by time / opportune – In some scriptural contexts, such 

as the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, "kālena" conveys that circumstances 

are favorable according to time, distinguishing it from personal 

favor or human intervention 

Examples in texts:

• Mahābhārata / Rāmāyaṇa: Usage indicating long durations or 
• timing of events.
• Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 8.6.19: "Kālena" here means “favored by time,” 
• suggesting that the demons and Daityas were currently receiving 
• the benefits or auspicious timing provided by the course of time
