In English by Swami Adidevananda
Of letters, I am the alphabet 'A'; of compound words, I am the dvandva (copulative); I am myself imperishable time; I am the creator, facing all sides.
In English by Swami Sivananda
Among the letters of the alphabet, I am the letter 'A' and the dual among compounds. I am verily the inexhaustible and everlasting time; I am the dispenser of the fruits of actions, having faces in all directions.

Among the various kinds of compounds used in Sanskrit language I am the Dvandva (union of the two), the copulative.Time here refers to the moment, the ultimate element of time or to Paramesvara, the Supreme Lord Who is the time of even time, since He is beyond time.As the Supreme Being is allpervading it is said that He has faces in all directions.

।।10.33।। व्याख्या--'अक्षराणामकारोऽस्मि'--वर्णमालामें सर्वप्रथम अकार आता है। स्वर और व्यञ्जन--दोनोंमें अकार मुख्य है। अकारके बिना व्यञ्जनोंका उच्चारण नहीं होता। इसलिये अकारको भगवान्ने अपनी विभूति बताया है।
