Shloka 29
कर्मनाशाभावः, गर्भे जीवप्रवेशः, आचारधर्मोपदेशः
Karma’s Non-Extinction, Jīva’s Entry into the Embryo, and Instruction on Conduct-Dharma
तस्य कालपरीमाणमकरोत् स पितामह: । भूतेषु परिवृत्तिं च पुनरावृत्तिमेव च,पितामहने जीवके लिये नियत समयतक शरीर धारण किये रहनेकी, भिन्न-भिन्न योनियोंमें भ्रमण करनेकी और परलोकसे लौटकर फिर इस लोकमें जन्म लेने आदिकी भी व्यवस्था की है
tasya kālaparimāṇam akarot sa pitāmahaḥ | bhūteṣu parivṛttiṃ ca punarāvṛttim eva ca ||
For that embodied being, the Grandsire (the Creator) fixed the measure of time—how long one should bear a body—and also ordained the turning about among living forms, and indeed the return again: coming back from the other world to be born once more here. The verse frames rebirth not as random fate but as a regulated order established by the cosmic lawgiver.
