sanskrit

[Causes of congenital abnormalities] In this verse, Lord Atreya said that I will explain, how the fetus does not get destroyed completely, but gets abnormalities/anomalies with the exposure of causative factors. When a woman gets indulged in dosha aggravating factors (diet/activities), it results in spread of these dosha in her body. When they reach shonita (ovum) and garbhashaya (uterus including fallopian tubes) and do not cause complete vitiation of shonita and garbhashaya, in this situation when the woman is conceived with partially vitiated shonita and garbhashaya, then abnormality of one or more organs occur due to vitiation of maternally derived organs of that garbha. Whatever the beeja forming organs or part of beeja gets vitiated, corresponding organ gets abnormality (vikriti). When the garbhashayabijabhaga (gene related to uterus) in the ovum of the mother gets vitiated, then she produces an infertile or vandhya female child and when the garbhashayabijabhagavayava (chromosome) in the ovum of a woman gets vitiated, then she produces a putipraja ((whose child dies before delivery). When the garbhashayabijabhagavayava as well as a part of female body producing beejabhaga of ovum in a woman gets vitiated, birth of a child takes place called varta (birth with female appearance but actually is not a female).These deformities are caused by the vitiation of the ovum. These are the morbidities due to involvement of the female chromosomes.
