Dear Mohan
The translation is like this
Mrigaihi - animals
Kaghaihi - birds
nagaha - snakes
sailaha - mountains
siddha - saints with power of creation
devah - devas
maharishyaha - maharishis
Kalam - TIME
Since time immemorial, (Through Ages -Yugams) all the above categories prosper alike. (its not vahava i think. it should be bahavaha meaning 'many'. It is similar to the adage "Time alone will tell". Like Time which appears to be standstill yet is not, the glory of the above mentioned categories of creatures can be known only as Time passes.
