जन्मनामयुतं साग्रं मम स्मृतिपथं गतम् ।
निर्वेदाः परितोषाश्च क्षयवृद्ध्युदये गताः ॥
janmanām ayutaṃ sāgraṃ mama smṛtipathaṃ gatam | nirvedāḥ paritoṣāś ca kṣaya-vृद्धy-udaye gatāḥ ||

Worldly states alternate endlessly—gain and loss, joy and weariness. Recognizing the repetitive pattern is meant to generate detachment and redirect effort toward liberation rather than status-management.
Not pancalakṣaṇa proper; it is mokṣa-oriented teaching within an ākhyāna, using the doctrine of repeated births (a common purāṇic-philosophical premise).
Memory across births symbolizes awakened continuity of consciousness: when the ‘thread’ (sūtra) is seen, the alternating experiences lose their power to bind.
