शुक्रासृगात्माशयकालसम्पद् यस्योपचारश्च हितैस्तथाऽन्नैः | गर्भश्च काले च सुखी सुखं च सञ्जायते सम्परिपूर्णदेहः ||६||
By (the excellence of) healthy sperm, ovum, aatma, uterus, time and by management with wholesome diet, the normal fetus gets delivered in fully developed state in time and with ease.
Though fertile, a woman conceives only after a long time due to defects in genitals, mental worry, derangement of sperm, ovum, diet and behavior, absence of proper timing and diminution of strength.
Menstrual blood obstructed by vayu in (the uterus of) a woman is mistaken as pregnancy sometimes by the ignorant. The blood that does not flow out but gradually accumulates within the uterus produces signs and symptoms similar to pregnancy.
तदग्निसूर्यश्रमशोकरोगैरूष्णान्नपानैरथवा प्रवृत्तम् | दृष्ट्वाऽसृगेकं न च गर्भसञ्ज्ञं केचिन्नरा भूतहृतं वदन्ति ||९||
When that blood is discharged out due to exposure to fire, the sun, exertion, grief, various diseases and intake of hot food and drinks,it becomes evident that it was not pregnancy,but merely the accumulation of blood. But it is mistaken as a fetus destroyed by evil spirits by some people.
ओजोशनानां रजनीचराणामाहारहेतोर्न शरीरमिष्टम्| गर्भं हरेयुर्यदि ते न मातुर्लब्धावकाशा न हरेयुरोजः ||१०||
Evil spirits who move at night and eat away the ojas do not desire the body (of the fetus) as food. If these evil spirits take away the life of the fetus they can easily enter in to the mother’s body and eat away the ojas, leading to her death also.
