Shlokas about "time, pradhana, maya are eternal" from the third person's view

Question

Srila Prabhupada wrote that the Supreme Lord, souls, prakriti and time are eternal in the Bhagavad Gita introduction. So, I need the shlokas which tell that "time is eternal", "pradhana or prakriti is eternal" and "maya is eternal". I need these shlokas to explain the universal phenomenon as a physics discussion. Kindly give shlokas from Upanishads which are more like an impersonal explanation or from the third person's view.

Answer 1

In the Avatarnika tika to the Govinda Bhashya(Brahma Sutra Bhashya) of Srila Baladev Vidyabhushan, a Bhalvaveya Shruti is quoted regarding this context :--

भाल्ववेयश्रुति:– 'अथ ह वाव नित्यानि पुरुषः प्रकृतिरात्मा काल इति। अथ यान्यनित्यानि प्राणः श्रद्धाभूतानि भौतिकानि इति। यानि ह वा उत्पत्तिमन्ति तान्यनित्यानि। यानि ह वा अनुत्पत्तिमन्ति तानि नित्यानि। न ह्येतानि कदा नोत्पद्यन्ते नो विलीयन्ते पुरुषः प्रकृतिरात्मा काल इत्येषा।' श्रुतिः।

Also its said in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.10.12

dravyaṁ karma ca kālaś ca svabhāvo jīva eva ca yad-anugrahataḥ santi na santi yad-upekṣayā
