नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
तस्य योनौ प्रयुक्तस्य गर्भो भवति वा न वा । आम्रपुष्पोपमा यस्य निवृत्तिरुपलभ्यते
tasya yonau prayuktasya garbho bhavati vā na vā | āmrapuṣpopamā yasya nivṛttir upalabhyate |
Nārada dit : «Lorsque cette (semence) est déposée dans le sein, tantôt la conception a lieu, tantôt non. Et parfois, telle la fleur du manguier, on la voit tomber en pure perte : sa course s’achève sans fruit.»
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when an apparent cause is present (the seed placed in the womb), the result is not guaranteed; outcomes depend on multiple conditions and may fail without visible fault. Ethically, this supports humility about agency and a measured, detached attitude toward results.
Nārada is explaining the variability of conception: sometimes the deposited seed leads to pregnancy, sometimes it does not, and sometimes it is lost prematurely—likened to mango blossoms that drop without becoming fruit.
