- পুনর্জন্ম (rebirth/reincarnation, a category absorbed into Meitei religious vocabulary through Vaishnavization, never use)
Resurrection
CRITICAL: a descriptive phrase (‘coming back to life from death’) avoids পুনর্জন্ম, the rebirth/reincarnation vocabulary that entered Meitei religious discourse through the Hindu Vaishnava tradition. Bodily, historical, once-for-all resurrection must be distinguished from any cyclical rebirth framework in translator notes.
