SB 10.53.39
evam prema-kala-baddha
 vadanti sma puraukasah
kanya cantah-purat pragad
 bhatair guptambikalayam

Translation:
Bound by their swelling love, the city’s residents spoke in this way. Then the bride, protected by guards, left the inner palace to visit the temple of Ambika.

Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti quotes the Medini dictionary’s definition of the word kala as follows: kala mule pravrddhau syac chiladav amsa-matrake. “The word kala means ‘a root,’ ‘increase,’ ‘a stone’ or ‘a mere part.’”
