Means to Slay Tāraka: Girijā’s Birth, Kāma’s Burning, and Umā’s Austerities
यो जायते हि यद्बीजाज्जनितुः सोर्थसाधकः । जनिता चापि जातस्य न कश्चिदिति च स्फुटम्
yo jāyate hi yadbījājjanituḥ sorthasādhakaḥ | janitā cāpi jātasya na kaściditi ca sphuṭam
جو باپ کے بیج سے پیدا ہوتا ہے وہ باپ کے مقصد کو پورا کرنے والا بنتا ہے؛ مگر جو پہلے ہی پیدا ہو چکا ہو، اس کا کوئی جنک کہلانے والا نہیں—یہ بات صاف ہے۔
Unspecified (context needed from surrounding verses; likely within a Purāṇic dialogue narration)
Concept: A son born from a father’s seed is the fulfiller of the father’s purpose; the notion of ‘begetter’ applies only within embodied birth, not to one already existent—hinting at the primacy of being over mere attribution.
Application: Honor lineage duties (pitṛ-ṛṇa, family responsibilities) without mistaking social causality for ultimate reality; cultivate humility about one’s origins and role.

FAQs
It distinguishes between a person who is generated from a father’s seed (thus serving the father’s intended purpose, such as lineage) and a being that is already existent/manifest, for whom the notion of a separate begetter does not apply.
Yes. The second line aligns with Purāṇic discussions where certain primordial beings are described as self-manifest or not requiring an external progenitor once already born/manifest.
It reflects the traditional view that offspring continue and fulfill the aims of the progenitor—especially continuity of family, duties, and remembrance—while also hinting that “purpose” depends on the causal relation (seed/progenitor) rather than mere existence.
