Is the case of enemies becoming children always universal to every human being?

The verse states that the domestic animals, wife, children and house are associated with the soul as per the bondage of loan (Ṛṇānubandharūpeṇa, paśu patnī sutālayāḥ). This is universal saying and in this the word ‘enemy’ has no reference. But, in a specific case, the enemy may be born as issue and give lifelong suffering.

This verse does not contradict the verse of Ashtaavakra in anyway. The essence of the verse of Ashtaavakra is that all the worldly bonds are temporary and unreal in all the three times like the cinema shooting bonds. As an example, mother in one birth becoming wife in another birth is told. The essence of these two bonds can be generalized to all the worldly bonds.

A cinema shooting bond between actors acting in the roles is temporary before and after shooting. In fact, on careful analysis, it proves that the bond, which does not exist in the previous birth and in the future birth is temporary in this birth, which means it does not exist even in this birth.
