नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
तस्य योनौ प्रयुक्तस्य गर्भो भवति वा न वा । आम्रपुष्पोपमा यस्य निवृत्तिरुपलभ्यते
tasya yonau prayuktasya garbho bhavati vā na vā | āmrapuṣpopamā yasya nivṛttir upalabhyate |
Sinabi ni Nārada: “Kapag ang (binhi) ay naihulog sa sinapupunan, kung minsan ay nagkakaroon ng paglilihi at kung minsan ay wala. At kung minsan, tulad ng bulaklak ng mangga, ito’y nakikitang nalalaglag nang walang saysay—nagtatapos ang landas nito nang walang bunga.”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when an apparent cause is present (the seed placed in the womb), the result is not guaranteed; outcomes depend on multiple conditions and may fail without visible fault. Ethically, this supports humility about agency and a measured, detached attitude toward results.
Nārada is explaining the variability of conception: sometimes the deposited seed leads to pregnancy, sometimes it does not, and sometimes it is lost prematurely—likened to mango blossoms that drop without becoming fruit.
