नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
अन्योन्यं समभिप्रेत्य मैथुनस्य समागमे । उपद्रव इवाविष्टो योनिं गर्भ: प्रपद्यते
anyonyam samabhipretya maithunasya samāgame | upadrava ivāviṣṭo yoniṁ garbhaḥ prapadyate ||
Nārada disse: “Quando marido e mulher se unem para o ato sexual com consentimento mútuo, o embrião entra no ventre—apoderando-se dele como se fosse impelido por um ímpeto avassalador, qual uma perturbação súbita.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Conception is presented as a potent, compelling transition of life into the womb, and it is situated within the dharmic frame of husband and wife uniting with mutual intention—highlighting reciprocity/consent as the proper context for procreation.
Nārada describes the moment of sexual union between spouses and depicts the embryo’s entry into the womb as sudden and forceful—‘as if seized by a disturbance’—to emphasize the intensity and inevitability of embodiment once the conditions for conception are met.
