न च मेऽस्ति व्यथा काचित्तव कर्मणि नित्यशः ॥ न ग्लानिर्न जरा काचिन्न जन्ममरणे तथा ॥

FAQs
The verse uses a cluster of key Sanskrit terms (vyathā, glāni, jarā, janma-maraṇa) to articulate a mythic-ontological state, reflecting Purāṇic ways of describing cosmic conditions beyond ordinary human limitation.
No geographic location is specified; the focus is on conditions of existence rather than place.
