Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)

English Translation
There one regains the wisdom and spiritual impressions from the previous body. Then one strives again for perfection, O joy of the Kurus.
Commentary (टीका)
In the new birth, the yoga-bhrashta naturally reconnects with the spiritual wisdom accumulated in previous lives. These dormant impressions (samskaras) resurface as an innate inclination toward spiritual life. From this foundation, the seeker continues striving toward perfection with even greater intensity. This verse explains why some individuals are naturally drawn to spirituality from a young age.
