Shloka 71
ब्राह्मणानुयात्रा—शौनकोपदेशः
Brāhmaṇas Follow into Exile and Śaunaka’s Instruction
एवं पतति संसारे तासु तास्विह योनिषु । अविद्याकर्मतृष्णाभि भ्राम्यमाणो5थ चक्रवत्,इस प्रकार अविद्या, कर्म और तृष्णाद्वारा चक्रकी भाँति भ्रमण करता हुआ मनुष्य संसारकी विभिन्न योनियोंमें गिरता है
evaṁ patati saṁsāre tāsu tāsv iha yoniṣu | avidyā-karma-tṛṣṇābhiḥ bhrāmyamāṇo ’tha cakravat ||
Vì thế, trong vòng luân hồi của thế gian, con người—bị vô minh, sức đẩy của nghiệp và lòng ái dục cuốn xoay như bánh xe—lại hết lần này đến lần khác rơi vào những bào thai khác nhau, tái sinh liên miên trong muôn hình vạn trạng.
शौनक उवाच
Educational Q&A
Ignorance (avidyā), the binding force of past actions (karma), and craving (tṛṣṇā) together keep a person revolving in saṁsāra, leading to repeated births in various wombs. Ethical self-restraint and right knowledge are implied as the antidotes to this compulsive cycle.
Śaunaka states a general doctrinal point: the human being, driven by ignorance, action, and desire, wanders like a wheel and repeatedly falls into different forms of birth. The verse functions as reflective instruction rather than describing a specific event.
