नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
स्रवन्ति हुदराद् गर्भा जायमानास्तथा परे | आगमेन तथान्येषां विनाश उपपद्यते
sravanti hudarād garbhā jāyamānās tathā pare | āgamena tathānyeṣāṃ vināśa upapadyate ||
ナーラダは言った。「ある胎は母胎より滑り出で、ある者は生まれ、またある者には、生後ほどなく時の流れに従って滅び（死）が訪れる。これらすべてには来去の定まった自然の過程があるが、絶対の支配を自称できる独立の作者は存在しない。」
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Life and death unfold through an impersonal, natural order; birth, miscarriage, and death are not governed by an autonomous ‘independent doer.’ This supports detachment and humility, weakening egoistic claims of control.
Narada illustrates the fragility of embodied existence by listing outcomes for the unborn and newborn—some miscarry, some are born, and some die after birth—framing these events as the working of an inevitable process rather than personal mastery.
