Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
अन्योन्यस्याभिसम्बन्धादन्योन्यगुणसंश्रयात् । रूप॑ निर्वर्तयत्येतदेवं सर्वासु योनिषु,दोनों पारस्परिक सम्बन्धसे एक दूसरेके गुणोंका आश्रय लेकर ही किसी शरीरका निर्माण होता है। प्रायः सभी योनियोंमें ऐसी ही स्थिति है

ଜନକ କହିଲେ—ପରସ୍ପର ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରୁ ଏବଂ ପରସ୍ପର ଗୁଣର ଆଶ୍ରୟ ନେଇ ଦେହରୂପ ନିର୍ମିତ ହୁଏ। ଏହିପରି ସମସ୍ତ ଯୋନିରେ ସାଧାରଣତଃ ଦେହଧାରଣ ପରସ୍ପରାଧୀନ କାରଣମାନଙ୍କୁ ନେଇ ହୁଏ; ଏକାକୀ, ବିଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ ଉତ୍ସରୁ ନୁହେଁ।

Educational Q&A
Embodiment is not produced by a single independent agent; it arises through interdependent causes—mutual connection and mutual reliance of qualities—across all forms of birth. The ethical implication is humility and non-attachment: seeing the body as a contingent product of conditions weakens ego and possessiveness.
In Śānti Parva’s philosophical instruction, King Janaka speaks as a teacher, explaining how bodily form comes into being through mutual relations and shared qualities, generalizing this principle to all yoni-s (modes of birth).
