सिद्ध उवाच
The verse teaches that the jīva undergoes death, birth, and entry into the womb, and that perfected seers (Siddhas) can directly perceive this cycle through divine/gnostic vision. Ethically, it supports detachment from mere bodily identity and encourages responsibility for karma across lives.
A Siddha is explaining how realized beings perceive the subtle movement of the living self: they witness its departure from one embodiment, its new birth, and its descent into the womb—events ordinarily hidden from common perception.
