Shloka 36
Gandhamādana-praveśa and the Sudden Storm (गन्धमादनप्रवेशः — चण्डवातवर्षवर्णनम्)
यमत्वं कुर्वतस्तस्य देवदेवस्य धीमत: । न तत्र म्रियते कश्चिज्जायते वा तथाप्युत
yamatvaṁ kurvatastasya devadevasya dhīmataḥ | na tatra mriyate kaścid jāyate vā tathāpy uta ||
Lomaśa dijo: «Cuando aquel sabio Señor de señores asume el oficio de Yama (juez cósmico), en ese ámbito nadie muere de verdad ni nadie nace de verdad; y, sin embargo, en la apariencia del mundo, tales procesos parecen ocurrir».

The verse points to a higher, dharmic-metaphysical view: under the supreme divine governance—even when the deity functions as Yama—birth and death are ultimately not absolute realities, but phenomena within worldly appearance and cosmic administration.
Lomasha, in his instructive narration, explains a theological point about the supreme Lord’s assumption of Yama’s role and the deeper truth behind mortality and birth, framing ordinary experience within a larger cosmic order.
