Shloka 8

कामात्‌ संजायते शुक्र शुक्रात्‌ संजायते रज: । समानव्यानजनिते सामान्ये शुक्रशोणिते,प्रवृत्तिके मूलभूत कामसे वीर्य उत्पन्न होता है। उससे रजकी उत्पत्ति होती है। ये दोनों वीर्य और रज समान और व्यानसे उत्पन्न होते हैं। इसलिये सामान्य कहलाते हैं

kāmāt sañjāyate śukraṃ śukrāt sañjāyate rajaḥ | samāna-vyāna-janite sāmānye śukra-śoṇite ||

قال نارادا: من الشهوة (كاما) ينشأ المنيّ (شوكرا)، ومن المنيّ ينشأ «راجس» (العنصر التناسلي/عنصر الحيض). وكلاهما—المنيّ والدم—لأنهما يتولّدان بفعل الوظائف الحيوية المسماة «سَمَانا» و«فْيَانا»، يُسَمَّيان لذلك «مشتركين» (مكوّنين متقاسمين).

Educational Q&A

The verse links physiology to ethics: desire (kāma) is presented as the initiating cause in the chain leading to reproductive substances. By implying that bodily outcomes follow mental impulses, it underscores the dharmic value of regulating desire for self-mastery and responsible conduct.

Nārada is explaining a doctrinal/physiological account of generation, describing how śukra and rajas/śoṇita arise and noting that they are produced through the functions of Samāna and Vyāna, hence called ‘common’ constituents.
