Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment

व्यायाममतिमात्र च व्यवायं चोपसेवते । सततं कर्मलोभाद्‌ वा प्राप्तं वेग विधारयेत्‌,अधिक मात्रामें व्यायाम और स्त्री-सम्भोग करता है। सदा काम करनेके लोभसे मल- मूत्रके वेगको रोके रहता है

vyāyāmam atimātraṃ ca vyavāyaṃ copasevate | satataṃ karmalobhād vā prāptaṃ vegaṃ vidhārayet ||

Educational Q&A

Moderation is dharmic: excessive exertion and indulgence, and especially suppressing natural bodily urges out of compulsive work-greed, disrupts right living and leads to harm.

A Siddha delivers practical ethical counsel, identifying behaviors that appear energetic or industrious but are actually immoderate—excess exercise, excessive sex, and suppression of bodily urges—thus instructing the listener in disciplined, balanced conduct.
