Adhyaya 10 — Jaimini’s Questions on Birth, Death, Karma, and the Embodied Journey
पितोवाच किमेतद्वदसे वत्स कुतस्ते ज्ञानसम्भवः ।
केन ते जडता पूर्वमिदानीञ्च प्रबुद्धता ॥
pitovāca kim etad vadase vatsa kutas te jñāna-sambhavaḥ | kena te jaḍatā pūrvam idānīñ ca prabuddhatā ||
Người cha nói: Con ơi, sao con lại nói như vậy? Tri kiến này đã phát sinh trong con từ đâu? Do nhân gì trước kia con mê muội, mà nay lại tỉnh thức?

Wisdom is to be examined for its source and stability; genuine transformation should be understood in terms of causes (saṃskāra, association, discipline), not merely emotion.
Didactic dialogue (dharma-jijñāsā) rather than cosmic genealogy; it supports the Purāṇic role as a transmitter of ethical and liberative knowledge.
The swing from jaḍatā to prabuddhatā mirrors the veil-and-revelation dynamic of avidyā and vidyā; inquiry (praśna) is the first purification of understanding.
