tasya kālaparimāṇam akarot sa pitāmahaḥ | bhūteṣu parivṛttiṃ ca punarāvṛttim eva ca ||
Bagi makhluk yang berjasad itu, Sang Pitāmaha (Pencipta) menetapkan ukuran waktu—berapa lama seseorang harus menanggung tubuh—serta menetapkan juga putaran dalam pelbagai kelahiran, dan bahkan kembalinya semula: dari alam sana kembali lahir di alam ini sekali lagi.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that lifespan and the cycle of transmigration and return (rebirth) operate under an ordained cosmic order: the Creator sets limits of embodied existence and the recurring movement through births, implying moral causality and regulation rather than arbitrariness.
A Brahmin speaker explains the structure of worldly existence: Brahmā (pitāmaha) has established how long beings remain embodied and how they circulate among forms of life and return from the other world to be born again, situating the discussion within a broader reflection on destiny, karma, and dharma.
