Karma, Association, and Rebirth
पश्चान्निर्गमनं ते वै भविष्यति न संशयः । अस्माकं हि भवान्स्वामी कायदेशे व्यवस्थितः
paścānnirgamanaṃ te vai bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ | asmākaṃ hi bhavānsvāmī kāyadeśe vyavasthitaḥ
ನಂತರ ನಿನ್ನ ನಿರ್ಗಮನವು ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ಸಂಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ—ಸಂಶಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ದೇಹಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿತನಾದ ನೀನೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ.

The ‘Kāya-deśa’ is visualized as a miniature kingdom inside the body—vein-like roads, breath as wind, and the heart as a throne-room—where the king is declared ‘lord’ yet cannot leave.","primary_figures":["Subtle speaker(s) (pañcātmakāḥ or inner voices)","King/jīva figure"],"setting":"Allegorical inner-body kingdom: heart-throne, breath-winds, nerve-pathways like corridors","lighting_mood":"inner radiance with soft, pulsing glow","color_palette":["smoky violet","copper gold","ivory","deep teal","rose madder"],"tanjore_prompt":"Tanjore painting style: an inner ‘body-palace’ with a heart-shaped sanctum as throne-room; the king-jīva seated yet bound by a translucent veil; five guardian figures with gold leaf halos gesture toward a small doorway of light; rich reds/greens, ornate jewelry, embossed gold patterns suggesting veins and nāḍīs.","pahari_prompt":"Pahari miniature style: delicate anatomical-allegory—corridors like winding rivers, a heart-lotus pavilion; the king-jīva in subdued royal attire; five airy figures speaking calmly; cool palette, refined expressions, lyrical symbolism rather than literal anatomy.","kerala_mural_prompt":"Kerala mural style: stylized heart-lotus at center, bold outlines; the king-jīva with wide contemplative eyes; five elemental guardians in flat pigments; rhythmic curves depict nāḍīs; temple-wall gravitas with warm ochres and reds.","pichwai_prompt":"Pichwai cloth painting style: a ‘kāya-mandala’ framed by lotus borders; central heart-lotus pavilion; the king-jīva and five attendants; intricate floral and vine motifs, deep blue ground with gold highlights, devotional ornamentation transforming anatomy into sacred pattern."}

Sandhi Resolution Notes: paścānnirgamanaṃ → paścāt + nirgamanam; bhavānsvāmī → bhavān + svāmī; kāyadeśe is a tatpuruṣa compound (kāya+deśa).
