The embryo is formed out of the aggregation of factors coming from mother, father, the soul, wholesome regimen, ''rasa'' (nutritive fluid) and the mind. The sources of the respective organs like maternal, paternal etc. have already been described in detail. [4]

''Garbha'' (embryo) is produced by the five ''mahabhutas'', i.e. ''akasha,vayu, agni, jala'' and ''prithvi'' and associated with the consciousness (''chetana''). It represents the combination of five ''mahabhutas'' and is also a holder of consciousness. Thus, the ''chetana'' constitutes the sixth ''dhatu'' and is responsible also for the formation of ''garbha'' (embryo).[6]

Now,  the order in which the embryo develops in  the womb is being explained. After the discharge of menstrual blood and the formation of fresh blood begins, a woman attains the ''ritumati'' (state of fertility) provided she has had bath and her genital tract, ovum and uterus are in normal condition. When a man with his unimpaired sperms cohabits with such a woman, his semen which constitutes the essence of the body tissues, comes out driven by orgasm. The semen consisting of sperms motivated by the orgasm is ejaculated from the body of the man and reaches the uterus through the genital tract. Finally, the sperm unites with the ovum. [7]

First of all the ''chetana dhatu'' (consciousness) i.e. the soul endowed with mind proceeds for taking hold of qualities. This ''chetana'' (consciousness) is known as ''hetu'' (associated cause), ''karana'' (non-constituent cause), ''nimitta'' (competent cause), ''akshara'' (the everlasting one), ''karta'' (the means), ''manta'' (the thinker), ''vedita'' (the knower), ''boddha'' (the intelligent one), ''drashta'' (the prophet), ''dhata'' (the supporter), ''brahma'' (the creator), ''vishwakarma'' (the builder of the universe/fetus), ''vishvarupa'' (taking universal form), ''purusha'' (lying in the body), ''prabhava'' (the source of origin), ''avyaya'' (the immutable) ''nitya'' (the eternal) ''guni'' (the receptacle of ''mahabhutas''), ''grahana'' (receiver), ''pradhana'' (the foremost), ''avyakta'' (the unmanifested one), ''jeeva'' (the lively one), ''jna'' (the mindful one), ''pudgala'' (the ego), ''chetnavan'' (one having consciousness), ''vibhu'' (omnipresent), ''bhutatma'' (pragmatic soul), ''indriyatma'' (essence of sense organs) and ''antaratma'' (inner soul).  Thus, the soul, at the time of beholding the qualities first of all, creates ''akasha'' in the same way as after complete obliteration of entire universe, the God of creation, Brahma created ''akasha'' with the support of mind followed by creation of other four elements ''vayu'' etc. which have higher degrees of materialistic qualities sequentially. In the same way, the soul, desirous of creating same events in the body, first of all, unites with the ''akasha'' and then with other four ''bhutas'' whose attributes are more and more manifested sequentially. All these actions take place in a very short time. (''anu kala'').[8]

Therefore, the senses and organs of the fetus are simultaneously manifested except the ones which are manifested only after birth such as teeth, secondary sexual characteristics like beard and breasts, signs of puberty like production of semen and ovum and alike traits are developed later. This is the normalcy and otherwise abnormal. In the fetus, there are certain characteristics, which are permanent whereas certain others are temporary. The permanent characteristics distinguish the male, female or hermaphrodite sex of the fetus. The characteristic features which determine its male or female sex depend on the self or the mahābhūtas and determined as per the dominance of one or the other of these factors such as cowardice, timidity, lack of skills, confusion, wavering nature, heaviness in lower body, intolerance, flabbiness, softness, presence of uterus and ovum and other such characters determine the female sex, opposite characters determine the male sex and mixture of both denote the hermaphrodite.

When senses of the fetus get manifested, its mind gets associated with feelings and due to this the fetus starts shuddering and expresses the wishes based on the experiences of prior life of the individual. According to elder persons, this condition is known as ''dauhrida'' (bi-cardiac condition). The heart of the fetus formed from the maternal component is linked to the mother’s heart through the ''rasavahi'' (nutrient material carrying channels) and through these channels fetus expresses its wishes through the mother.

During the eighth month of gestation due to immaturity of the fetus, the ''ojas'' moves from the mother to fetus and from fetus to mother through the channels carrying ''rasa'' (nutritive fluid). As a result, at that time, the pregnant woman frequently becomes happy or dull (exhausted) parallel is the condition of the fetus. It is because of the instability of the ''ojas'', the delivery of the fetus during this month is prone to danger. In view of this, experts do not consider this month fit for labor. [24]

In this verse, Lord Atreya said that I will explain, how the fetus does not get destroyed completely, but gets abnormalities/anomalies with the exposure of causative factors. When a woman gets indulged in ''dosha'' aggravating factors (diet/activities), it results in spread of these ''dosha'' in her body. When they reach ''shonita'' (ovum) and ''garbhashaya'' (uterus including fallopian tubes) and do not cause complete vitiation of ''shonita'' and ''garbhashaya'', in this situation when the woman is conceived with partially vitiated ''shonita'' and ''garbhashaya'', then abnormality of one or more organs occur due to vitiation of maternally derived organs of that ''garbha''. Whatever the ''beeja'' forming organs or part of ''beeja'' gets vitiated, corresponding organ gets abnormality (''vikriti'').

When the ''garbhashayabijabhaga'' (gene related to uterus) in the ovum of the mother gets vitiated, then she produces an infertile or ''vandhya'' female child and when the ''garbhashayabijabhagavayava'' (chromosome) in the ovum of a woman gets vitiated, then she produces a ''putipraja'' ((whose child dies before delivery). When the ''garbhashayabijabhagavayava'' as well as a part of female body producing ''beejabhaga'' of ovum in a woman gets vitiated, birth of a child takes place called ''varta'' (birth with female appearance but actually is not a female).These deformities are caused by the vitiation of the ovum. These are the morbidities due to involvement of the female chromosomes. [30]

In the same way, when the part of the ''beeja'' (gene of a sperm) is markedly vitiated, then this gives birth to a ''vandhya'' (sterile) child. When the ''beejabhagavayava'' (chromosome) is extremely vitiated, then this gives birth to a ''putipraja'' (whose child dies before delivery). When the ''beejabhagavayava'' of sperm and also portions of the ''beejabhaga'', which are responsible for the production of organs that differentiate a male, are greatly vitiated, then this gives birth to a child who is not a male but only having masculine distinctiveness in abundance. Such a type of child is known as ''trinaputrika''. These deformities are caused by the vitiation of the sperm (male genes and chromosomes). [31]

The soul is devoid of disorders and beholds supreme position. The soul in different living beings is not different (it is same or part of the same consciousness). The difference in its presence/existence is felt only due to diverse features of the body and mind of different living beings. [33]

Vitiation of the body and the mind causes the expression of diseases and no disease is caused without vitiation of ''doshas''.

The mind is of three types – pure ''sattvika, rajasika'' and ''tamasika''. The pure ''sattvika'' one is free from causing abnormalities as it is gifted with auspiciousness; whereas the ''rajasika'' type is impure because it promotes furious temperament. In the same way, the ''tamasika'' one is similarly impure because of bewilderment. Each of these three types of mind can be sub-divided into innumerable forms owing to comparative proportions and type of body and origin of the body it resides into. The body influences the mind and vice versa. Therefore, some of the varieties of mind have been described briefly depicting their resemblance with recognized symbols. [36]
