Aśmagīta: Janaka’s Inquiry on Loss, Kāla, and the Limits of Control (अश्मगीता)
एवमेतानि दु:ःखानि तानि तानीह मानवम् | विविधान्युपवर्तन्ते तथा संस्पर्शजान्यपि
evam etāni duḥkhāni tāni tānīha mānavam | vividhāny upavartante tathā saṃsparśajāny api ||
Джанака сказал: «Так в этом мире именно эти страдания вновь и вновь приходят к человеку в разнообразных видах; и точно так же возникают страдания, рождающиеся от соприкосновения с предметами чувств.»
जनक उवाच
Suffering repeatedly arises for human beings in varied forms, especially through sensory contact and attachment to objects; recognizing this supports restraint and detachment as ethical disciplines.
King Janaka is instructing about the sources and recurrence of human suffering, emphasizing that pains are not random but arise through identifiable causes such as contact with sense-objects.
