Adhyaya 58 — The Kurma-Form of Narayana: Mapping Bharata through Nakshatras, Regions, and Planetary Afflictions
दिग्देशजनसामान्यं नृपसामान्यमात्मजम् ।
नक्षत्रग्रहसामान्यं नरो भुङ्क्ते शुभाशुभम् ॥
digdeśajanasāmānyaṃ nṛpasāmānyamātmajam / nakṣatragrahasāmānyaṃ naro bhuṅkte śubhāśubham
Nararanasan ng tao ang mabuti at masamang bunga sa pamamagitan ng pangkalahatang impluwensiyang kaugnay ng mga direksiyon, mga rehiyon, at mga tao; sa pamamagitan ng impluwensiyang kaugnay ng hari; sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga supling; at sa pamamagitan ng pangkalahatang impluwensiya ng mga nakṣatra at mga planeta.

Well-being is multi-causal: personal fate interacts with social environment, governance, family line, and cosmic timing—so dharma includes right living within all these spheres.
A loka-vyavahāra teaching within the Purāṇic encyclopedic frame; it complements manvantara and royal narratives by explaining how rulers, peoples, and time affect outcomes.
The verse outlines concentric fields of karma—from cosmic (nakṣatra-graha) to political (nṛpa) to social (jana) to familial (ātmaja)—suggesting layered ‘karmic atmospheres’ shaping experience.
