When a man with ''retas''(semen) not afflicted by any abnormality and a woman with disease-free ''yoni'' (genital tract), ''shonita'' (ovum), and ''garbhashaya'' (uterine bed) engage in the act of coitus during the fertile phase, the jeeva (soul), along with sattva (mind), descends into the union of sperm and ovum, i.e., zygote which is implanted in the uterus. This results in the formation of the garbha (embryo). The zygote receiving nourishment by the nutritious rasa (nutritive fluid) and, on being nursed with proper antenatal care, grows healthily. Later the fetus with all the indriyāṇi (sensory and motor organs) is formed. The fetus thus formed is complete with all the body parts, and is equipped with optimum strength, complexion, mental faculties and compactness leading to comfortable and timely delivery. This occurs due to the combination of the factors derived from the mata (mother), pita (father), aatmā (soul), sātmya (suitability), and, rasa (nutritive fluid). Another factor, sattva (mind), which is self-produced, also contributes to this process. So said Lord Atreya. ||3||

Sage Bharadvāja said: “No. because neither mother, nor father, nor the soul, nor suitability (or articles that the person is accustomed to), nor the utilization of pāna (drinks), aśana (foods), bhakṣya (solid eatables) and lehya (semisolid eatables) can produce an embryo. Nor does the mind come from the world beyond to enter into the zygote”. ||4.1||
