Aśmagīta: Janaka’s Inquiry on Loss, Kāla, and the Limits of Control (अश्मगीता)
एवमेतानि दु:ःखानि तानि तानीह मानवम् | विविधान्युपवर्तन्ते तथा संस्पर्शजान्यपि,इस प्रकार मनुष्यको इन्हीं दो कारणोंसे ये भिन्न-भिन्न प्रकारके दु:ख प्राप्त होते हैं। विषयोंकी आसक्तिसे भी ये दु:ख प्राप्त होते हैं
evam etāni duḥkhāni tāni tānīha mānavam | vividhāny upavartante tathā saṃsparśajāny api ||
قال جانكا: «وهكذا، في هذا العالم، تعود تلك الآلام نفسها على الإنسان مرارًا في صور شتّى؛ وكذلك تنشأ الآلام المولودة من ملامسة موضوعات الحواس على النحو عينه.»

Educational Q&A
Suffering repeatedly arises for human beings in varied forms, especially through sensory contact and attachment to objects; recognizing this supports restraint and detachment as ethical disciplines.
King Janaka is instructing about the sources and recurrence of human suffering, emphasizing that pains are not random but arise through identifiable causes such as contact with sense-objects.
