1393
saṁvatsaraḥ —year;  caṇḍa-vegaḥ —called Caṇḍavega;  kālaḥ —time;  yena —by which;  upalakṣitaḥ —symbolized;  tasya —of the duration of life;  ahāni —days;  iha —in this life;  gandharvāḥ —Gandharvas;  gandharvyaḥ —Gandharvīs;  rātrayaḥ —nights;  smṛtāḥ —are understood;  haranti —they take away;  āyuḥ —duration of life;  parikrāntyā —by traveling;  ṣaṣṭhi —sixty;  uttara —above;  śata —hundred;  trayam —three.
TRANSLATION
What was previously explained as Caṇḍavega, powerful time, is covered by days and nights, named Gandharvas and Gandharvīs. The body's life span is gradually reduced by the passage of days and nights, which number 360.
PURPORT
The word  parikrāntyā  means “by traveling.” The living entity travels on his chariot day and night during a year consisting of 360 (or more) days and nights. Life's progress is taken for the unnecessary labor required to cover these 360 days and nights of life.
TEXT 22
कालकन्या जरा साधालोकस्तां नाभिनन्दति ।
स्वसारं जगृहे मृत्युः क्षयाय यवनेश्वरः ॥२२॥
kāla-kanyā jarā sākṣāl lokas tāṁ nābhinandati svasāraṁ jagrhe mṛtyuḥ kṣayāya yavaneśvaraḥ
kāla-kanyā —the daughter of Time;  jarā —old age;  sākṣāt —directly;  lokaḥ —all living entities;  tām —her;  na —never;  abhinandati —welcome;  svasāram —as his sister;  jagrhe —accepted;  mṛtyuḥ —death;  kṣayāya —for destruction;  yavana-īśvaraḥ —the King of the Yavanas.
TRANSLATION
What was described as Kālakanyā should be understood as old age. No one wants to accept old age, but Yavaneśvara [ Yavana-rāja ], who is death, accepts jarā [ old age ] as his sister.
