A spinning wheel and a game using the game in Gestation Bhāratavarṣa . The
Samsara (संसार) is the cycle of reincarnation. The act of Jātismara (जातिस्मर, "Memory of birth") is the act of remembering his past lives (one to jātismar is one who has that rare ability to have these memories, usually a ṛṣi , a seer-prophet). The
jātismarā in Hindu texts seems to remember all his Lives (and even before he remembered it, even when he was in animal form), but in the game, we can consider this as a sort of jurisdiction very partial of life, at least until we do not reach the score of at least 1 in Jātismara . In short, the character can make a jet to remember snatches of a life to help in the present situation and treated it as just a flashback created by the player by spending a point of Karman. In
Bhāratavarṣa , there may be two options :
- You choose your character by creating one or more past lives, karma the ensuing, skills or connections drawn from it.
- You pull on the Great Cakraṃ of Jātismara (also called more soberly Table of Random Reminiscences ).
