नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
तस्य योनौ प्रयुक्तस्य गर्भो भवति वा न वा । आम्रपुष्पोपमा यस्य निवृत्तिरुपलभ्यते
tasya yonau prayuktasya garbho bhavati vā na vā | āmrapuṣpopamā yasya nivṛttir upalabhyate |
那罗陀说道:“当那(种子)置入胎中,有时成孕,有时不成。又有时,如芒果之花,徒然飘落——其行止于无果之终。”
नारद उवाच
Even when an apparent cause is present (the seed placed in the womb), the result is not guaranteed; outcomes depend on multiple conditions and may fail without visible fault. Ethically, this supports humility about agency and a measured, detached attitude toward results.
Nārada is explaining the variability of conception: sometimes the deposited seed leads to pregnancy, sometimes it does not, and sometimes it is lost prematurely—likened to mango blossoms that drop without becoming fruit.
