Adhyaya 10 — Jaimini’s Questions on Birth, Death, Karma, and the Embodied Journey
सास्य वागस्फुटा तात एकवर्णा विभाव्यते ।
दृष्टिश्च भ्राम्यते त्रासाच्छ्वासाच्छुष्यत्यथाननम् ॥

The passage highlights the inevitability of bodily dissolution and the helplessness of the embodied being at death, urging a life oriented to dharma and meritorious acts before the senses and speech fail.
Primarily aligned with dharma/karmaphala instruction rather than the five classic puranic markers; it is best classified under practical/ethical teaching connected to karmic consequences (a dharma-upadeśa strand within the Purana).
Speech collapsing to ‘one sound’ and the unsteady gaze can be read as the withdrawal of prāṇa and indriyas (sense-powers), signaling the jīva’s loosening from the gross body as it approaches transition.
