Adhyaya 10 — Jaimini’s Questions on Birth, Death, Karma, and the Embodied Journey
पूर्वाभ्यासेन तेनैव सोऽहं तात जितेन्द्रियः ।
यतिष्यामि तथा कर्तुं न भविष्ये यथा पुनः ॥
pūrvābhyāsena tenaiva so ’haṃ tāta jitendriyaḥ | yatiṣyāmi tathā kartuṃ na bhaviṣye yathā punaḥ ||
அன்புத் தந்தையே, முன்பிறவிகளின் அதே பயிற்சியினால் நான் தன்னடக்கமுடையவன் ஆனேன். முன்புபோல் மீண்டும் பிறவி ஏற்படாதபடி நான் செயல்பட முயல்வேன்.

Spiritual progress is cumulative: prior discipline ripens into present self-mastery, and the aim of right effort is freedom from repeated rebirth (punarjanma).
Primarily Dharma/Upadeśa (ethical-philosophical instruction) rather than sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa; it supports the Purāṇic function of teaching liberation-oriented dharma.
‘Prior practice’ suggests saṃskāra continuity across births; ‘conquest of senses’ is the inner yajña that burns the seeds of future embodiment.
