The Unmanifest, Prakṛtis, and the Sense-Complex

मरणं जन्मनि प्रोक्ते जन्म वै मरणाश्रितम्‌ | अविद्दान्‌ मोक्षधर्मेषु बद्धो भ्रमति चक्रवत्‌ । बुद्धिमार्गप्रयातस्य सुखं त्विह परत्र च

maraṇaṃ janmani prokte janma vai maraṇāśritam | avidvān mokṣadharmeṣu baddho bhramati cakravat || buddhimārgaprayātasya sukhaṃ tv iha paratra ca ||

Parāśara dit : On déclare que la mort est présente au sein même de la naissance, et que la naissance repose à son tour sur la mort. Celui qui ignore les dharmas menant à la délivrance demeure lié et erre dans le monde tel une roue, tournant dans le cycle des naissances et des morts. Mais celui qui chemine sur la voie de l’intelligence obtient le bien-être ici-bas comme dans l’au-delà.

Educational Q&A

Ignorance of mokṣa-dharma keeps a person bound to saṃsāra, endlessly revolving through birth and death; discernment (buddhi) and the liberating path bring well-being in this life and beyond.

In Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation, the sage Parāśara teaches that birth and death are mutually implicated and that only knowledge of mokṣa-oriented dharma frees one from cyclical wandering.
