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 receives nourishment by the nutritious [[rasa]] (nutritive fluid) and, on being nursed with proper antenatal care, grows healthily. Later the fetus with all the indriyani (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 mother, father, [[atma]] (soul), [[satmya]] (suitability), and, [[rasa]] (nutritive fluid). Another factor, sattva (mind), which is self-produced, also contributes to this process. So said Lord Atreya. [3]
