			<p style="text-align:justify;">The present chapter deals with six important factors responsible for embryogenesis: maternal, paternal, [[atma]] (soul), [[satmya]](suitability), rasa (nutrient fluid), and sattva (mental strength). The chapter emphasizes upon the fact that none of these factors has the ability to produce an embryo independently, but a methodical combination of all the six is essential for this process. The chapter highlights the importance of acclimatization to surroundings and environmental conditions, positive mental strength and self-consciousness for pregnancy beyond mere union of maternal and paternal factors. </br>

	The soul contributes in the process of embryogenesis. The ''antaratma'' (soul inside the body) is the same as ''garbhatma''(soul in the fetus) and is known as ''jeeva'' (life-form). According to scriptures, this soul is ''sashvata'' (eternal). It is ''aruja'' (disease-free), does not age (''ajara''), is immortal (''amara''), does not undergo decay (''akshaya''), is impenetrable (''abhedya''), is unbreakable (''achhedya''), is unperturbable (''alodya''), is omnipresent (''vishvarupa'') and omnipotent (''vishvakarma''). It is invisible (''avyakta''), neither has a beginning nor an end (''anadinidhana''), and is imperishable (''akshara''). By entering into the uterus, it combines with the ''[[shukra]] (sperm) and the shonita (ovum) and takes birth in the form of a fetus. Thus, the fetus derives its identification from the soul. Because the soul is without a beginning, the birth of the soul is not possible. Neither does the soul, being itself unborn, give rise to an unborn embryo, nor does the soul, being itself unborn, give rise to a born embryo. With the passage of time, the same embryo goes through the stages of childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. And at each of these states or stages of life, the soul is said to be “born” in that stage. But, with reference to the future stages, it is considered to be unborn or yet to be born. Therefore, the soul is concurrently both born and unborn. In such situations, the soul creates those stages of life after taking birth. In other situations, where the stage of life is yet to come, the soul without being born manifests itself. In those specific stages of life, the change of the state is considered to be the birth of the ''[[atma]]n''. For instance, mere existence of ''[[shukra]]- shonita'' (semen and ovum) before the union with the soul is not an embryo. ''[[Shukra]]-shonita'' are transformed into embryo only when the soul unites with them. A man cannot be called a father before the birth of his child. He is considered to be the father only after the birth of his child. Similarly, the embryo is said to be born or unborn depending upon the state attained or yet to be attained.

	When a man with retas(semen) not afflicted by any abnormality and a woman with disease-free yoni (genital tract), shonita (ovum), and ''garbhashaya'' (uterine bed) engage in the act of coitus during the fertile phase, the jeeva (soul), along with sattva (mind), descends into the union of sperm and ovum, i.e., zygote which is implanted in the uterus. This results in the formation of the garbha(embryo). The zygote receives nourishment by the nutritious [[rasa]] (nutritive fluid) and, on being nursed with proper antenatal care, grows healthily. Later the fetus with all the indriyani (sensory and motor organs) is formed. The fetus thus formed is complete with all the body parts, and is equipped with optimum strength, complexion, mental faculties and compactness leading to comfortable and timely delivery. This occurs due to the combination of the factors derived from the mother, father, [[atma]] (soul), [[satmya]] (suitability), and, [[rasa]] (nutritive fluid). Another factor, sattva (mind), which is self-produced, also contributes to this process. So said Lord Atreya.
