== Chapter 2. Different clans and aspects of the Human Birth – [[Atulyagotriya Sharira]] ==

<div style="text-align:justify;">Gotra, literally means cowshed. However, in common parlance, it denotes the progeny (or a clan) of a common male ancestor (usually, a rishi, or a sage). Atulya Gotra, or diversity in clans, is what the sages of antiquity professed, thus laying the foundation of genetics in Ayurveda. In this chapter, thirty six specific questions on a wide range of topics such as the contributing factors for embryogenesis, labor, sex determination of the embryo, congenital anomalies, transmigration of the atma, and related phenomena are answered in detail. Apart from these, causes of disease, treatment, preventive measures and the role of past and present deeds of one-self in causation of disease etc. are discussed. </div>

== Chapter 3. Factors responsible for Embryogenesis- [[Khuddika Garbhavakranti Sharira]] ==  

== Chapter 3. Factors responsible for Embryogenesis- [[Khuddika Garbhavakranti Sharira]] ==  

<div style="text-align:justify;">The present chapter deals with six important factors responsible for embryogenesis: maternal, paternal, atma (soul), satmya(suitability), rasa (nutrient fluid), and sattva (mental strength). The chapter emphasizes upon the fact that none of these factors has the ability to produce an embryo independently, but a combination of all the six is essential for this process.  The chapter highlights importance of acclimatization to surroundings and environmental conditions, positive mental strength and  self-consciousness for pregnancy beyond mere union of maternal and paternal factors. </div>
