अकृशो वायुभग्नाड्: शकुनिर्विकृतस्तथा । चतुष्पाद् बहुरूपश्च पुनर्भवति बालिश:
akṛśo vāyubhagnāṅgaḥ śakunir vikṛtas tathā | catuṣpād bahurūpaś ca punar bhavati bāliśaḥ ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໃນການເກີດຊ້ຳໆ ຄົນໜຶ່ງອາດປາກົດໃນສະພາບທີ່ຜັນຜວນຫຼາຍຢ່າງ—ບາງຄັ້ງຜອມ, ບາງຄັ້ງຮ່າງກາຍຖືກທຳລາຍໂດຍໂລກລົມ (vāta), ບາງຄັ້ງເປັນນົກ, ບາງຄັ້ງມີຮູບຮ່າງບິດເບືອນ. ອີກຄັ້ງອາດເປັນສັດສີ່ຂາ, ຫຼືຜູ້ມີຫຼາຍຮູບ, ຫຼືແມ່ນກະທັ້ງຄົນໂງ່ເຂົາ».

Educational Q&A
That the results of karma can manifest as varied and even diminished embodiments—illness, deformity, animal birth, or foolishness—highlighting the ethical urgency of right conduct and right understanding.
Bhīṣma is instructing about the workings of karma and saṃsāra, describing how a being may repeatedly take different bodily forms and conditions across births, including human, animal, and impaired states.
