Nārada–Devamata Dialogue on Prāṇa, Apāna, and Udāna
नारद उवाच येनायं सृज्यते जन्तुस्ततो<न्यः पूर्वमेति तम् । प्राणद्वन्द्धं हि विज्ञेयं तिर्यगूर्धष्वमधश्च यत्
nārada uvāca | yenāyaṃ sṛjyate jantus tato 'nyaḥ pūrvam eti tam | prāṇadvandvaṃ hi vijñeyaṃ tiryag ūrdhvaṃ adhaś ca yat ||
ນາຣະດະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ສິ່ງໃດທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ສັດມີຊີວິດນີ້ເກີດຂຶ້ນ—ກ່ອນເຫດນັ້ນ ຍັງມີຫຼັກການອື່ນອັນໜຶ່ງ ແຕກຕ່າງອອກໄປ ປາກົດຂຶ້ນເປັນເງື່ອນໄຂກ່ອນ. ຈົ່ງຮູ້ວ່າ ນັ້ນແມ່ນ “ຄູ່ຄວາມຂອງລົມຊີວິດ” (ປຣານະເປັນຄູ່) ທີ່ແຜ່ຊຶມຢູ່ໃນໂລກເທິງ ໂລກກາງ ແລະ ໂລກລຸ່ມ».

Educational Q&A
Creation is not explained only by a single immediate cause; Nārada points to a prior, pervasive condition—prāṇadvandva, the dual functioning of vital forces—present throughout all levels of existence (higher, middle, and lower realms).
Nārada is instructing a sage (muni) in a doctrinal discussion on origins: he identifies an underlying principle that precedes and supports the arising of embodied beings, framing it in terms of prāṇa operating in a dual mode across the cosmos.
