=== Effects of ''shukra dosha'' (Verse 30) ===
   −
Apart from the factors already analyzed earlier in the ''Vidhi Vimarsha'', ''shukra-dosha'' (CS.Su.28/18) and vitiated ''vata'' (CS.Su.12/8) including vitiated ''vata'' in ''shukra'' (CS.Ci.28/34) are said to be responsible for congenital abnormalities. Any part of the seed, or ''beeja'' (''beejabhaga''), if defective, would result in a defective body part, indicating chromosomal or genetic defects (CS.Sa.3/17). Defects in ''indriyas'' are attributed to ''daiva'', or fate, in the texts (CK.CS.Sa.3/17). Similarly, abnormalities in diet and behavior of women (CS.Sa.4/30), mental state of women (CS.Sa.2/25)) etc. influence the fetus. Bad deeds or sins (''paapa'') committed in the past life, vitiated ''vata'', non-fulfillment of ''dauhrida'', and skepticism of parents are also responsible for teratogenicity (SS.Sa.2/50-52).

Pregnancy before attaining 16 years of age, conception during first three days of menstrual cycle and bearing down in absence of labor pain are also responsible for abnormalities in the child (AS.Sa.1/5, KS.Sa.5/5). A woman not using proper ''rasas'' during ''ritukala'' delivers abnormal child (BhS.Sa 5/4). The couple suffering from ''udavarta'', consuming unwholesome diet (BhS.Su.12/15-16), vitiation of ''akasha'' as well as ''daiva'' could also cause abnormalities in the child (BhS.Sa.3/15-16). (30)
