अस्मिन्महामोहमये कटाहे सूर्याग्निना रात्रिदिवेन्धनेन

अस्मिन्महामोहमये कटाहे सूर्याग्निना रात्रिदिवेन्धनेन ।
मासर्तुदर्वीपरिघट्टनेन भूतानि कालः पचतीति वार्ता ॥

Yaksha had asked Yudhishthira, "What is the news?"
In answer to that Yudhishthira said -
In this frying pan of great illusion (the world), Time is cooking the creatures with the fire of the sun and having day and night as it's fuel and the months and seasons constituting the ladle. This is news. Time consumes everything and hence one should utilize the available little time for his own emancipation. Many people do not realsise that they are gradually being consumed by time and hence that is the news deserving widest publicity.
