The word ''garbhadhirupa'' may be interpreted in a broader way to include the entire process of embryogenesis by which an embryo grows and develops into a healthy foetus. Here, ''garbha'' means the conjugation of ''shukra-shonita'' and ''jivatma'' as described in the texts and ''roopa'' means full manifestation. The word, ''adi'' denotes the entire process from the conjugation to full manifestation.(2)
