निष्क्रम्यमाणो वातेन प्राजापत्येन पीड्यते ।
निष्क्राम्यते च विलपन् हृदि दुःखनिपीडितः ॥
niṣkramyamāṇo vātena prājāpatyena pīḍyate | niṣkrāmyate ca vilapan hṛdi duḥkhanipīḍitaḥ ||
പ്രസവസമയത്ത് പുറത്തേക്ക് വരുമ്പോൾ പ്രാജാപത്യവായുവാൽ അവൻ പീഡിതനാകുന്നു; വേദനകൊണ്ട് അമർന്ന ഹൃദയത്തോടെ കരഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ട് പുറത്തുവരുന്നു।

FAQs
Life in saṃsāra begins with duḥkha; this undercuts pride in embodiment and supports detachment (vairāgya) and the pursuit of liberating knowledge rather than mere worldly aims.
Didactic material aligned with 'Sarga/Pratisarga' themes (conditions of embodied beings) rather than cosmography or dynastic history.
The 'vāyu' imagery points to prāṇic compulsion: the individual self (jīva) is driven by subtle forces, suggesting that mastery of prāṇa (yogic discipline) is linked to mastery over suffering and rebirth.
