Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
तथा यद्यद् भवेद् युक्त संनिपाते क्वचित् क्वचित् | तत्तन्मर्म विजानीहि शास्त्रदृष्ट हि तत् तथा
tathā yadyad bhaved yuktaṃ sannipāte kvacit kvacit | tattan marma vijānīhi śāstradṛṣṭa hi tat tathā ||
Так же, где бы и когда бы ни обнаруживались части тела, соединённые в месте сочленения, знай: каждый такой пункт — жизненно важная точка (марма); ибо трактаты определяют признак мармы именно так.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
A marma is identified by anatomical convergence: wherever limbs or bodily structures meet and are joined at a junction, that location should be understood as a vital, life-sensitive point, as affirmed by authoritative śāstric tradition.
A Siddha is instructing the listener in a technical, śāstra-based way—defining how to recognize marma points by observing bodily junctions, a knowledge relevant to disciplined conduct in combat and to understanding bodily vulnerability.
