<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>

The term ''rasa'' has been translated by various authors as chyme, chyle, lymph, plasma etc. However, it is difficult to restrict the meaning of this term to any of such specific fluids. As ''rasa'' has been described to be a colorless fluid that gets propelled out of the heart by ''vyana vayu'' into the vascular tree, it is more logical to translate it as plasma. However, the fluids in the interstitial spaces and the fluid in the lymphatic vessels also are to be included under ''rasa'' because we find no other apt term that describes these fluids. Moreover, the word ''rasa'' includes all those bodily fluids that flow. As the major function of ''rasa'' is to nourish the other tissues, we have translated it as nutritive fluid in this context. <ref>Patwardhan K.

Dhiman K. et. al. has reviewed and conceptualized the congenital and genetic factors related to six factors responsible for embryo-genesis.<ref>Dhiman K, Kumar A, Dhiman KS. Shad Garbhakara Bhavas vis-a-vis congenital and genetic disorders. Ayu. 2010;31(2):175-184. doi:10.4103/0974-8520.72384</ref> There is further scope of research on the linkage of these factors with available information in genetic studies.
