नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
स्रवन्ति हुदराद् गर्भा जायमानास्तथा परे | आगमेन तथान्येषां विनाश उपपद्यते
sravanti hudarād garbhā jāyamānās tathā pare | āgamena tathānyeṣāṃ vināśa upapadyate ||
قال نارادا: «بعضُ الأجنّة ينزلق خارج الرحم، وبعضُها يُولَد، ولآخرين تقع الهلكة (الموت) بعد الولادة في أوانها. وفي ذلك كلّه سيرورةٌ طبيعيةٌ ثابتةٌ للمجيء والذهاب، غير أنّه لا يوجد فاعلٌ مستقلٌّ يستطيع أن يدّعي سيطرةً مطلقة.»
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Life and death unfold through an impersonal, natural order; birth, miscarriage, and death are not governed by an autonomous ‘independent doer.’ This supports detachment and humility, weakening egoistic claims of control.
Narada illustrates the fragility of embodied existence by listing outcomes for the unborn and newborn—some miscarry, some are born, and some die after birth—framing these events as the working of an inevitable process rather than personal mastery.
