पतिर्भार्यां सम्प्रविश्य गर्भो भूत्वैह जायते । जायायास्तद् हि जायात्वं यदस्यां जायते पुनः ॥ ८ ॥
The husband, after conception by his wife, becomes an embryo and is born again of her; for that is the wifehood of a wife (gaya), that he is born (gayate) again by her.
यादृशं भजते हि स्त्री सुतं सूते तथाविधम् । तस्मात् प्रजाविशुद्ध्यर्थं स्त्रियं रक्षेत् प्रयत्नतः ॥ ९ ॥
As the male is to whom a wife cleaves, even so is the son whom she brings forth; let him therefore carefully guard his wife, in order to keep his offspring pure.
