Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 53
संसारे वर्तमानेस्मिञ्जंतुः कर्मानुबन्धनात् । दुर्विभाव्यां गतिं याति सुखदुःखमयीं मुहुः
saṃsāre vartamānesmiñjaṃtuḥ karmānubandhanāt | durvibhāvyāṃ gatiṃ yāti sukhaduḥkhamayīṃ muhuḥ
Странствуя в этом мирском бытии, живое существо, скованное цепью собственной кармы, вновь и вновь входит в трудно постижимые уделы, сотканные из чередующихся радости и страдания.
