Shloka 55

मृता गर्भेषु जायन्ते जातमात्रा म्रियन्ति च । चड्क्रमन्तो प्रियन्ते च यौवनस्थास्तथा परे,कुछ लोग गर्भोामें ही मरकर जन्म लेते हैं, कुछ जन्म लेते ही मर जाते हैं, कुछ चलने- फिरने लायक होकर मरते हैं और कुछ लोग भरी जवानीमें ही चल बसते हैं

mṛtā garbheṣu jāyante jātamātrā mriyanti ca | caṅkramanto mriyante ca yauvanasthās tathā pare ||

قال جامبوكا: «من الناس من يموت في الأرحام فيولد ميتًا، ومنهم من يموت ساعة يولد. ومنهم من يموت بعد أن يشتدّ ويقدر على الحركة، ومنهم من يرحل وهو قائم في تمام الشباب.»

Educational Q&A

Life is uncertain at every stage—from the womb to youth—so one should cultivate dharma, restraint, and inner detachment rather than relying on youth, strength, or time as guarantees.

Jambuka is reflecting on the many ways death can arrive—before birth, at birth, in childhood, or in youth—using these examples to underscore the fragility of embodied life and to support a moral-spiritual admonition toward seriousness in dharma.
