यथोवाच भगवान् धन्वन्तरिः ||२||
We are going to now expound the chapter by name- Garbnavakranti Sarira-formation of the fetus; as revealed by the venerable Dhanvantari.
Garbhotpatti – genesis of the fetus
सौम्यं शुक्रमार्तवमाग्नेयमितरेषामप्यत्र भूतानां सान्निध्यमस्त्यणुना विशेषेण, परस्परोपकारात् (परस्परानुग्रहात्,) परस्परानुप्रवेशाच्च ||३||
Sukra (semen) is predominant in Ap or Jala Mahabhuta i.e. water ingredient and is nice in nature and therefore thought of Saumya.
Artava (menstrual blood) is predominant in Tejo or Agni Mahabhuta i.e. hearth ingredient and is claimed to be fiery in nature and therefore thought of as Agneya.
These two, together with different Bhutas i.e. components i.e. Prithvi – earth ingredient, Vayu – air ingredient and Akasa – ether ingredient, particularly of their minute kind, mix to mutually assist one another and in addition merge into each other in order to kind the Garbha – embryo.
Notes: -Each Sukra and Artava are made up of Pancha Bhutas i.e. 5 major components of creation. Garbha – embryo is fashioned when sukra and sonita / artava mix collectively. On this course of, every ingredient helps the opposite within the formation of Garbha.
Whereas Prithvi Bhuta supplies the substratum to reside in it and assist different components, Jala helps of their adherence whereas Agni helps in producing adjustments and transformation in them. Whereas Vayu helps in offering actions and actions, Akasa helps them by offering area inside for development.
On this method, all of the bhutas assist one another mutually. The intermingling of all these components on this small mass i.e. Garbha is so compact that they have a tendency to lose their particular person id.
Conception and implantation
तत्र स्त्रीपुंसयोः संयोगे तेजः शरीराद्वायुरुदीरयति, ततस्तेजोनिलसन्निपाताच्छुक्रं च्युतं योनिमभिप्रतिपद्यते संसृज्यते चार्तवेन, ततोऽग्नीषोमसंयोगात् संसृज्यमानो गर्भाशयमनुप्रतिपद्यते क्षेत्रज्ञो वेदयिता स्प्रष्टा घ्राता द्रष्टा श्रोता रसयिता पुरुषः स्रष्टा गन्ता साक्षी धाता वक्ता यः कोऽसावित्येवमादिभिः पर्यायवाचकैर्नामभिरभिधीयते दैवसंयोगादक्षयोऽव्ययोऽचिन्त्यो भूतात्मना सहान्वक्षं सत्त्वरजस्तमोभिर्दैवासुरैरपरैश्च भावैर्वायुनाऽभिप्रेर्यमाणो गर्भाशयमनुप्रविश्यावतिष्ठते ||४||
When the person and lady are within the act of copulation, the Vayu augments Agni (warmth) within the physique. Sukra will get ejaculated into the yoni – vagina because of the mixed impact of Agni and Vayu. On getting into the vagina, sukra combines with artava (ovum). This mix of – ‘Agni (hearth) like Artava’ and ‘Soma (water) like Sukra’, then strikes upwards into the garbhashaya i.e. uterus.

Whereas the union of Bhutatma takes place by the act of Daiva i.e. God / divinity, it’s initiated by Vayu (Vata). The mass i.e. zygote mixed with Bhutatma then enters into the Garbhashaya – uterus and stays therein.

It’s the time which makes these minute and invisible fibres and so forth. to look distinctly later. The instance of the sprout of the bamboo can be equally defined.
Equally, all main and minor components of the younger immature fetus creating within the womb, despite being current, will not be perceivable (not recognizable) attributable to their minuteness. With passage of time, the identical components change into distinctly seen.
