O my Beauty! If the questioner comes to the side of a
vacant Svara then there will be no birth at all, if both the
Svaras are running then there would be a birth of twins,
and if there is an alternation of Svaras, that is the
Suşumnā is flowing then there would be abortion-so should
the knowers of Tattvas derive.
 
गर्भाधानं मारुते स्याच्च दुःखी दिक्षु ख्यातो वारुणे सौ-
ख्ययुक्तः । गर्भस्रावः स्वल्पजीवश्च वह्नौ, भोगी भव्यः
पार्थिवेनार्थयुक्तः ॥२९७॥
 
If the conception takes place under the Wind Element
then the offspring would be giver of pain; if it takes place
under the Water Element then an offspring famous in all
directions and giver of comforts would be born; if it takes
place under the Fire Element then either there will be abortion
or the born baby would be short-lived; and if it takes place
under the Earth Element then the offspring would be beauti-
ful, wealthy and prosperous in life.
 
धनवान्सौख्ययुक्तश्च भोगवानार्थसंस्थितिः
 

 
स्यान्नित्यंवारुगेतत्वेव्योस्निगर्भोविनश्यति ॥२९८॥
 
If the conception takes place under the Water Element
the son born would spend a comfortable and enjoyable life
and his wealth would never leave him. If the conception
takes place under the Akasa Element then there would be
abortion,
 
माहेन्द्रे सुसुतोत्पत्तिर्वारुणे दुहिता भवेत् ।
शेषेप गर्भहा निःस्याज्जातमात्रस्यवामृतिः
 
॥२९९॥
 
If the conception takes place under the Earth Element
then a son and if under the Water Element then a daughter
would be born; and if it takes place under the remaining
Elements then there would either be an abortion or the child
would die soon after birth.
 
रविमध्यगतश्चन्द्रश्चन्द्रमध्यगतो रविः ।
ज्ञातव्यं गुरुतः शीघ्रं न वेदशास्त्रकोटिभिः ॥३००॥
