Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 3]
potter himself. Therefore the Lord, who is behind the motion of the cosmos, is called  avyakta-bandhu . Everything is within the limits of time, but time moves under the direction of the Lord, who is therefore not within time's limit.

TRANSLATION
No one in this material world has become free from the four principles birth, death, old age and disease, even by fleeing to various planets. But now that You have appeared, My Lord, death is fleeing in fear of You, and the living entities, having obtained shelter at Your lotus feet by Your mercy, are sleeping in full mental peace.
