तत्र प्रथमे दिवसे ऋतुमत्यां मैथुनगमनमनायुष्यं पुंसां भवति, यश्च तत्राधीयते गर्भः स प्रसवमानो विमुच्यते ; द्वितीयेऽप्येवं सूतिकागृहे वा; तृतीयेऽप्येवमसम्पूर्णाङ्गोऽल्पायुर्वा भवति; चतुर्थे तु सम्पूर्णाङ्गो दीर्घायुश्च भवति | न च प्रवर्तमाने रक्ते बीजं प्रविष्टं गुणकरं भवति, यथा नद्यां प्रतिस्रोतः प्लाविद्रव्यं प्रक्षिप्तं प्रतिनिवर्तते नोर्ध्वं गच्छति तद्वदेतद्द्रष्टव्यम् | तस्मान्नियमवतीं त्रिरात्रं परिहरेत् | अतः परं मासादुपेयात् ||३१||

sanskrit

On the first day, during the fertile period, the union leads to a conception that results in a long life for the child; and the fetus conceived there will be born safely. On the second day, this holds true in the lying-in chamber; on the third day, if the body is incomplete or if the lifespan is short, the child will have a short life. On the fourth day, however, a complete body will lead to a long life. If the red fluid is not active, the seed that enters will not have beneficial qualities, just as a substance thrown into a river with opposing currents does not rise but instead sinks. Therefore, a woman should avoid sexual relations for three nights. After this period, she may engage again after a month.

sanskrit

For a woman who has conceived, on these days, she should perform the ritual of offering milk to the deities Laxmana, Vatashunga, Sahadeva, and the Visvadevas, giving three or four drops in the right nostril for the desire of a son; she should not, however, be firm in this practice.

sanskrit

There, the qualities of the elements give rise to different colors. When a conception occurs, if it is influenced by the fire element, the fetus will be fair; if by the earth element, it will be dark; if by the earth and sky elements, it will be blackish; and if by the water and sky elements, it will be whitish or blackish. It is said, "The color of the fetus will be similar to that which the mother consumes." If the mother's vision is impaired, the fetus will be born with certain deficiencies, such as blood-related issues (red eyes), bile-related issues (yellow eyes), mucus-related issues (white eyes), and air-related issues (irregular eyes).
