Nārāyaṇasya Guhya-nāmāni Niruktāni (Etymologies of Nārāyaṇa’s Secret Epithets) / नारायणस्य गुह्यनामानि निरुक्तानि
परिभ्रमति संसारं चक्रवद् बहुवेदन: । फिर प्रारब्ध कर्मोके उदय होनेपर वह बद्ध प्राणी कर्मके अनुसार जन्म पाकर संसारमें नाना प्रकारके दुःख भोगता हुआ उसमें चक्रकी भाँति घूमता रहता है
paribhramati saṃsāraṃ cakravad bahuvedanaḥ |
نارد نے کہا—بہت سی اذیتوں سے دباہوا وہ بندھا ہوا جیَو، جب پراربدھ کرم کا اُدَے ہوتا ہے تو اپنے کرم کے مطابق جنم لیتا ہے؛ اور سنسار میں طرح طرح کے دکھ بھوگتے ہوئے پہیے کی مانند گھومتا رہتا ہے۔
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that as long as a being remains bound by karma, it continues to revolve through saṃsāra like a wheel—taking births in accordance with its actions and experiencing recurring suffering when karmic results mature. The ethical implication is that one should cultivate right conduct and liberating knowledge/renunciation to end this cycle.
Nārada is speaking in a didactic context within the Śānti Parva, describing the condition of the bound soul. He uses the image of a wheel to explain the repetitive, cyclical nature of worldly existence driven by karma and its fruition.
