04. Five Attributes of a Jeevan decided during conception in the womb

आयुः कर्म च वित्तं  च विद्या निधनम् एव च |
पञ्चैतानि  हि  सृज्यन्ते गर्भस्तस्येव  देहिनः || चाणक्य नीति : चौथा अध्याय

The duration of life (longevity-lifespan), the future activities of life, wealth, learning (knowledge/intelligence), and how one will die, these five attributes in a person are determined and created during his conception in the womb.

1. आयुः → length of life.
2. कर्म → what kind of deeds/actions one will do.
3. वित्तं   → wealth one will have.
4. विद्या  → the knowledge one will gain.
5. निधनम्  → the time and manner of death.

This teaching reminds us of that certain aspects of life are beyond our control and are shaped by destiny even before birth. While effort is important, humility comes from knowing that not everything is in our hands—fate and divine order play their role too.
