नरनारायण-नारदसंवादः
Nara-Nārāyaṇa–Nārada Discourse on Vision, Elements, and Entry into Vāsudeva
स्रवन्ति हुदराद् गर्भा जायमानास्तथा परे | आगमेन तथान्येषां विनाश उपपद्यते
sravanti hudarād garbhā jāyamānās tathā pare | āgamena tathānyeṣāṃ vināśa upapadyate ||
那罗陀说道：“有的胎胚自母胎滑出；有的得以出生；而另一些则在出生之后，依时而至地遭逢毁灭（死亡）。在这一切之中，来去自有一定的自然过程，却无任何独立的作者能自称握有绝对的主宰。”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
Life and death unfold through an impersonal, natural order; birth, miscarriage, and death are not governed by an autonomous ‘independent doer.’ This supports detachment and humility, weakening egoistic claims of control.
Narada illustrates the fragility of embodied existence by listing outcomes for the unborn and newborn—some miscarry, some are born, and some die after birth—framing these events as the working of an inevitable process rather than personal mastery.
