Shloka 10
कर्मनाशाभावः, गर्भे जीवप्रवेशः, आचारधर्मोपदेशः
Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
Devanagari script
लोहपिण्डं यथा वल्रि: प्रविश्य हतितापयेत् । तथा त्वमपि जानीहि गर्भे जीवोपपादनम्,जैसे आग लोहपिण्डमें प्रविष्ट होकर उसे बहुत तपा देती है, उसी प्रकार गर्भमें जीवका प्रवेश होता है और वह उसमें चेतनता ला देता है। इस बातको तुम अच्छी तरह समझ लो
Transliteration
lohapiṇḍaṃ yathā vahniḥ praviśya hatitāpayet | tathā tvam api jānīhi garbhe jīvopapādanam ||
Translation
As fire, entering a lump of iron, heats it with fierce intensity, so understand this: when the living self enters the womb, it establishes life there and brings sentience to what was inert. Grasp this clearly.
