एतदन्यच्च मे दत्तं गतं चिंताकरं तव । कल्पस्यादौ तथा चांते भविष्ये समनंतरे
etadanyacca me dattaṃ gataṃ ciṃtākaraṃ tava | kalpasyādau tathā cāṃte bhaviṣye samanaṃtare
Auch dies andere habe ich gegeben; es ist dir zum Anlass der Sorge geworden — am Anfang des Kalpa, ebenso an seinem Ende, und wiederum in der nahen Zukunft.
Unspecified (context needed to determine the dialogue pair precisely)
Concept: Cosmic time (kalpa) brings recurring turning-points; what is ‘given’ (dharma/charge/boon) can become a burden if not carried with steadiness.
Application: When responsibilities recur in cycles, meet them with preparation rather than panic; treat anxiety as a signal to return to sādhana and clarity.

FAQs
It frames events as recurring across cosmic cycles (kalpas), referencing beginnings and ends of an aeon and an ensuing future sequence.
Not explicitly; it is more focused on cosmic timing and the emotional/ethical weight (anxiety or concern) produced by a given matter. Bhakti emphasis, if present, would depend on surrounding verses.
