Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
एतत् सत्यं विजानीतं युवां प्राणा बहिश्चराः ।
पुनर्नैवं विभिन्नार्थं वक्तव्यं द्विजसत्तमौ ॥
etat satyaṃ vijānītaṃ yuvāṃ prāṇā bahiścarāḥ / punar naivaṃ vibhinnārthaṃ vaktavyaṃ dvijasattamau
«Sabed que esto es verdad: vosotros dos sois mi propia vida que se mueve fuera (de mí). Por ello, oh el mejor de los dos veces nacidos, no volváis a hablar de modo que divida nuestro propósito.»

Speech that fractures shared aims is treated as adharma; unity (saṅgati) is preserved through satya (truthfulness) and restraint in vāṇī (speech). Calling them ‘my life-breaths’ elevates relationship above transaction.
Vamśānucarita / narrative ethics; not a cosmological or manvantara enumeration here.
‘Life moving outside’ suggests extension of the self into trusted others—an image for how identity can expand beyond bodily limits when attachment is replaced by affectionate duty.
