Shloka 9
भूमिगुण-प्रश्नः
Inquiry into the qualities of Earth and the classification of beings
यदा तु विषमी भावमाविशन्ति परस्परम् | तदा देहैदेहवन्तो व्यतिरोहन्ति नान्यथा
yadā tu viṣamī bhāvam āviśanti parasparam | tadā dehair dehavantō vyatirōhanti nānyathā ||
قال سانجيا: ولكن حين تدخل هذه الخصال في حالٍ من الاختلال بعضها تجاه بعض، عندئذٍ يتصادم ذوو الأجساد ويتشابكون بأجسادهم ذاتها—ولا يكون ذلك على غير هذا الوجه. فالاضطراب الباطن وغياب الانسجام بين الناس يفضيان إلى اصطدامٍ ظاهر، ويغدو القتال الجسدي نتيجةً مرئية لاختلالٍ أخلاقي ونفسي سبقَه.

Educational Q&A
Physical confrontation is portrayed as the outcome of an inner and mutual imbalance (viṣamī-bhāva). When minds and relations become discordant, embodied beings inevitably come into bodily opposition; without such inner disharmony, the verse implies, the collision would not arise.
Sañjaya is describing the dynamics by which opponents come to physical engagement: once mutual hostility or imbalance takes hold between parties, they meet and clash through their bodies. It frames the impending or ongoing conflict as rooted in a prior shift of disposition.
