Transmigration (流轉: in Sanskrit saṃsāra; here translated as transmigration, meaning circulating through the six destinies without interruption; if one speaks of birth-and-death [saṃsāra], according to the Sanskrit, janma [繕摩] is translated as birth, and maraṇa [刺諵] is translated as death, which are distinct terms; differentiating according to their original terms, nan [諵] is nü + xian fan).
