Buddhism's Pali Canon (Tipitaka) describes rebirth driven by karma, with consciousness-stream continuing sans creator, aligning with your Pali interest. Shaivite visions, as in your Shiva chants, portray merger into divine light (உட்கலந்த ஜோதி), implying soul's pre-existent divine spark.

Ensoulment views vary: conception (Epicureans, modern creationism), 40-90 days (Aristotle/Aquinas), or birth (Stoics)—yet all affirm soul's non-bodily origin.

**Theological perspectives on one's conception** often frame it as the
entry point of an eternal soul into physical form, drawing from Indic
and Eastern traditions where the atman (soul) pre-exists birth via
reincarnation or divine infusion.  This "composition" compiles key
evidences from scriptures, doctrines, and cases, emphasizing
non-physical origins vital to inner science. [en.wikipedia][1][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation)
