Such a couple (desiring good progeny) should first undergo purification therapies described earlier in this treatise - unction and sudation procedures followed by emesis and purgation - and gradually get back to normalcy. Once purified, the couple should undergo non-unctuous and unctuous enema. Then, the man should be administered with sweet-tasting drugs processed with ghee and milk while the woman should take sesame oil and black gram. [4]

While menstruating, the woman should abstain from coitus for three nights, sleep on the ground, consume food with her hand from unbroken utensils, and should not clean her body by any means. On the fourth day, she should be anointed well with oil and should be given a good head bath, cleansed well, and then made to wear white coloured apparel. The man should follow similar rituals as the woman on her fourth day of menstruation. Then onwards, the two, wearing white apparels and garlands, with pleasant disposition, loving each other, should enter into acts of cohabitation - on even days if desirous of a male child, and on odd days for a female child. [5]

During sexual intercourse, the woman should not be in prone posture, or lie on her sides. In the former case, ''vata dosha'' becomes stronger and inflicts the genital tract and in the latter case, lying on her right side, displaces ''kapha dosha'' into the mouth of the uterus and creates obstruction, while if she is on her left side, ''pitta dosha'' afflicts the ovum and sperm by its heat. Therefore, the woman should receive the sperm lying on her back, in this position; the doshas are in their states of normalcy. After coitus, vagina should be sprinkled with cold water.

Thereafter the woman, desirous of progeny, should sit with her husband on the west side of the altar, while the priest should sit to the south, and together they should perform the holy oblation to fire expressing their longing for a progeny. Then, the priest, addressing the God of procreation (Prajapati) for the fulfilment of her desire in her womb, should perform the ‘boon bestowing rite’, by chanting the said hymn ‘May Visnu bless the womb and make it fertile’. Then, the priest should prepare a bolus of cooked rice in an earthen pot by mixing the oblation with ghee, offering it to the holy fire thrice according to the prescribed methods. He should then give the sanctified pot of water to the woman to be used for all her purposes.

Apart from the procedures mentioned above, ''mahabhutas'' also contribute in colour and complexion of skin. It is important to note that the ''teja'' (aura) associated with ''apa'' and ''akasha mahabuta'' are responsible for fair complexion, ''prithvi'' and ''vayu'' are responsible for black, and an equilibrium of all the five ''mahabhutas'' result in ''shyamavarna'' i.e. sky-like bluish complexion.

This verse lays down procedures mentioned in Vedic scriptures that, if administered correctly, could change the sex of an offspring even before its birth. When applied in the best of places and time, these procedures bear the desired fruit invariably always. Therefore, after examining the woman who has conceived recently, before the signs of gestation become apparent, (the physician) should administer ''pumsavana'' (procedures to beget a healthy offspring) on her.

From this verse onwards, measures for the preservation of embryo (''garbha'') have been explained. Some of these rituals or practices require the pregnant woman to wear herbs, such as ''aindri'' (Citrulluscolocynthis Schrad – Gorakshakarkati), ''brahmi'' (Bacopamonnieri Pennel), ''satavirya'' (Cynodon doctylon Pers), ''sahasravirya'' (a variety of ''durva'' - cynodon species, also known as ''durvadwaya''), ''amogha'' (''patala'' – Stereospermumsuaveolens DC), ''avyatha'' (''guduchi'' – Tinospora cordifolia Miers), ''shiva''(''haritaki'' – Terminaliachebula Linn), ''arishta'' (katukarohini – Piccrorhizakurroa Royle ex Benth), ''vatyapushpi'' (Pitabala – Sidacordifolia Linn), and ''vishwaksenakanta'' (''priyangu'' – Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl.),on her head or her right hand. Or she may drink milk or ghee processed with the above mentioned herbs, or bathe at every occasion of ''pushyanakshatra'' with water boiled using these herbs, and she should keep these herbs readily available always. Similarly, the regular use of all of the ''jivaniya'' class of herbs (life promoter group of herbs) in the (above) prescribed manner is also beneficial. Thus, the procedures for stabilization of embryo (''garbha'') have been described in this verse. [20]

Any ailment or disease afflicting a pregnant woman should be treated very delicately, by means of medicaments and diet that are mainly soft, palatable, cooling, pleasant and mild. She should not be subjected to emetics, purgatives, or ''nasya'' (errhines), or to practices such as bloodletting. She should not be, at any time, administered corrective and unctuous enema, except in very serious emergency situations. In her final trimester, the pregnant woman, if in emergency conditions wherein emesis is urgently required, should only be treated by means of very mild emetics etc., or by its substitutes. A pregnant woman should be handled like a pot brimful of oil, which can spill on irritation i.e., very delicately. [22]

If the pregnant woman, in her second trimester or later, as a consequence of excessive anger, grief, intolerance, envy, fear, sex, exercise, agitation, suppression of body urges, faulty eating, faulty lying down and standing habits, excessive hunger and thirst or as the result of malnutrition, starts to bleed, then the following course of treatment should be adopted to safeguard the conception from any mishap:
 
If the pregnant woman, in her second trimester or later, as a consequence of excessive anger, grief, intolerance, envy, fear, sex, exercise, agitation, suppression of body urges, faulty eating, faulty lying down and standing habits, excessive hunger and thirst or as the result of malnutrition, starts to bleed, then the following course of treatment should be adopted to safeguard the conception from any mishap:
Line 439: Line 540:  
• The physician should then place a cotton swab, immersed in medicated ghee prepared with yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabraLinn) and then kept in cold water, near or in the vaginal passage. She should also be annointed with shatadhautaor sahasradhauta ghrita (ghee washed a hundred or a thousand times with water or medicated decoctions) on or below the navel region. Similarly, she could also be sprinkled with cold milk or decoction of madhuka and nyagrodhadi class of (Ficusbengalensis Linn) herbs on or below her navel region, or she should take bath in tub of cold water. Cloth pieces soaked in the juice of ksheerivriksha (latex-yielding trees) class of herbs, or a cotton swab soaked in milk and ghee processed with leaf-buds of nyagrodhadi (Ficusbengalensis Linn) class of drugs should be inserted into her vagina. She should also consume ghee made up of milk in a quantity of aksha (about 10-12 ml) and treated with the same drugs as mentioned above. She should be offered a concoction made up of stamens of kamala (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.), utpala (Nymphaea alba Linn), and kumuda (a variety of Nymphaea species), mixed with honey and sugar linctus. She should eat singhataka (Trapabispinosa Roxb. – chestnut), pushkarabeeja (lotus seeds –Nelumbonucifera Gaertn.) and kasheruka (Scirpusgrossus Linn. f.). She may be given goat’s milk boiled with gandhapriyangu (Callicarpamacrophylla Vahl.), nilotpala (blue variety of Nymphaeaalba Linn), shaluka (rhizome of lotus), fruits of udumbara (Ficusracemosa Linn.) and leaf-buds of nyagrodha (Ficusbengalensis Linn). She should eat soft, fragrant and cooked shali rice of red variety (Orizasativa Linn.), added with honey and sugar along with milk boiled with roots of bala (Sidacordifolia Linn.), atibala (Abutilonindicum Linn.), shali, sashtika (both varieties of Orizasativa Linn.) ikshu (sugarcane- Saccharumofficinarum Linn.), and kakoli. Or she should eat the above rice along with the soup made of meat that is well-seasoned with ghee, of lava (Common Quail), kapinjala (Grey Partridge), kuranga (Roe deer), sambara (Indian Sambar), shasha (Rabbit), harina (Black Buck), ena (Antelope) orkalapuchchaka (Black tailed Deer), while sitting comfortably in a cool and well ventilated place. She should be protected from anger, grief, overexertion, activities that are sexual or intensely physical in nature, and should be entertained with pleasing and comforting stories. By following these methods, the embryo (garbha) is saved from abortion. [24]

If vaginal bleeding occurs as the result of ama (indigestion), there is a very high probability of miscarriage and abortion of the foetus and it may not be avoidable, because the two disorders (vaginal bleeding and indigestion) require mutually opposite treatments. [25]

If a pregnant woman with a large and well-formed foetus starts experiencing bleeding or other forms of uterine discharge as aresult of indulgence in hot and pungent food articles, the foetus will cease growing. Such a foetus will stay for a long time in the mother’s womb and this condition is referred to as Upavistaka (or prolonged gestation).

Now (we) shall expound the specific therapeutic courses of treatment recommended for the management of ''upavistaka'' (intrauterine growth retardation because of decreased nutrient transfer) and nagodara (IUGR because of malnourishment). Ghee and milk which have been medicated with ''bhautika'' (drugs having anti-evil spirits / germs action), ''jivaniya'' (life-promoting), ''brimhaniya'' (bulk promoting), ''madhura'' (sweet) and ''vatahara'' (''vata'' alleviating) drugs help stimulate the development of the fetus. Immature or undeveloped fetus (i.e. poultry eggs) with milk also acts as an effective growth stimulant for the fetus. Ample use of medicated ghee also serves to nourish the mother and her fetus. These therapeutic courses should be supplemented with walking, moving in carriages (that do not jerk a lot), physical cleansing and engaging in mild exercises and other forms of physical activities.

If the fetal development has stalled or is slowed (for various reasons), then the pregnant woman should be advised to take ''shali'' rice (cooked Oriza sativa Linn.) which is soft, sweet and cool, with meat juices (seasoned with ghee), of one or more of the following animals- the hawk, fish, ''gayal'', peacock, rooster, or partridge -  or with gruel of ''masha'' (Phaseolusradiates Linn - black gram) or with the soup of radish, with plenty of ghee. She also should be massaged with lukewarm oil (''tila taila''-gingilly oil) over her abdomen, pelvic region, groin, thigh, waist, sides and back. [28]

In case the pregnant woman develops constipation due to ''udavarta'' (misperistalsis) in the eighth month and if it cannot be treated with unctuous enema, then the physician should treat her with non-unctuous enema that may relieve her condition. If the disorder of misperistalsis is neglected, it may abruptly turn fatal for both the mother and the fetus or for the fetus alone. In such conditions, a decoction prepared with the roots of ''virana'' (Veriveriazizanoides Nash), ''shali'' (Oryzasativa Linn), ''sashtika'' (a variety of Oryza species), ''kusha'' (Desmostachya bipinnata Staf), ''kasha'' (Saccharum spontaneum Linn.), ''ikshuvalika'' (Asteracanthalongifolia Nees), ''vetasa'' (Salixcaprea Linn.), ''parivyadha'' (type of Vetasa, Salix species) ''bhutika'' (Trachyspermumammi Sprague), ''ananta'' (Hemidesmus indicusR. B.), ''kashmarya'' (Gmelinaarborea Linn.), ''parushaka'' (Grewiaasiatica Linn.), ''madhuka'' (Glycyrrhizaglabra Linn) and ''mridwika'' (Vitisvinifera Linn.), prepared with milk and mixed with half that volume of water containing paste of ''priyala'' (Buchananialanzan Spreng), ''bibhitakamajja'' (the seed pulp of Terminaliabelerica Roxb.), ''tila'' (Sesamumindicum Linn.) and salt (''Saindhava'' – rock salt) should be used for non-unctuous enema. Once the constipation is relieved, she should be sprinkled with lukewarm water and then given food having stabilizing properties and which will not cause any burning sensation.

If the fetus dies in the womb as a result of excessive increase of ''doshas'' caused due to over-indulgence in pungent and hot things, or due to suppression of urges to pass flatulence, urine and bowel movement, or due to faulty eating, faulty sitting, lying down or standing or due to compression (of the womb) and injuries, or passion, grief, envy, horror, fear etc., or due to intensive/extreme physical activities, then the stomach will be still, rigid, bloated up, cold and stony-hard. This condition would be accompanied by severe pain in the stomach, but the labor pains do not set in and there is no discharge. The woman’s eyes will droop and she may feel nauseous, pain, is in agony, giddiness, and breathlessness with intense restlessness. The natural urges also will not be proper as routine. If these features are seen in a pregnant woman, then it should be construed that the fetus is dead. [30]

According to some scholars, the treatment of dead fetus (which acts like a foreign body within the womb) consists of administering medicines which are used to expel the placenta. Others suggest using mantras, prayers and spiritual offerings as explained in the Atharva Veda. Yet others believe that it should be removed by surgical means by an expert surgeon.

After furnishing the maternity home, in the beginning of the ninth month, on an auspicious day, when moon is in the auspicious ''nakshatra'' (constellation), with an auspicious ''karana'' and at an auspicious ''muhurta'' (astrological unit of time), with priests offering oblations and rites to holy fire, first of all the cow, the ''brahmana'', fire and water should be made to enter the maternity home. Then grass, water, honey and ''laja'' (parched rice) should be offered to the cows, and ''akshata'' (rice grains prepared exclusively for worship), fragrant flowers and sweet fruits (such as ''khajura'', date), which are indicative of good fortune, should be offered to the ''brahmanas''. Blessings should then be sought from the ''brahmanas'', after taking sips of water (''achamana'' is taking sips of water after chanting ''mantra''). With auspicious mantras being chanted by the priests, the expecting woman should enter the maternity home, following the cow and the ''brahmanas'' to her right side. Then she should stay there until she delivers her child. [35]

If in spite of acute labor pains, she is not able to deliver, some advise that the woman must be instructed to get up, hold a pestle and pound grains repeatedly, taking breaks and deep breaths, and moving about periodically. Lord Atreya, however, does not consider it right. According to him, a pregnant woman should always be advised to avoid strenuous exercises and particularly during parturition, since all the body elements and humors are in a state of commotion, ''vata'', aggravated by the strain involved in the exercise of pounding, could even be fatal to the pregnant woman. Woman during this situation will be difficult to cure. Other sages advise against the pounding exercises but advocating deep breathing and moving about.

When the feeling of fetus descending into the lower abdomen getting separated from heart (upper part) is felt by mother, and fetal head has turned which gets caught in the pelvic cavity, also the labour pain becomes more frequent. At this stage she should be made to lie down on the delivery cot and urged to bear down. One of her favourite lady attendants should recite the following ''mantra'' in her ears “May the Earth, the water, the heaven, the light, the wind, Visnu and Prajapati ever protect you and the child and may they guide the delivery. O, auspicious faced one! Bring forth, without distress to yourself or to him, a son who will possess the lustre of Kartikeya and will have the protection of Kartikeya.’’ [39]

As when there is no natural urge to sneeze, or pass flatulence, urine or bowel movements, they will not appear or if appear will be with a lot of effort, similarly if the woman strains when there is no labour pain, the foetus will not come out or if at all it comes out, it will be with great difficulty. On the other hand, just as when there is a strong urge to pass bodily wastes, one should not suppress them, not straining when there is acute labor pain will lead to difficult labour. The woman should be advised to follow the following instructions - Initially she should strain (bear down) with mild force, gradually with stronger efforts. While she is bearing down hard, the attendants should keep repeating words such as ‘She has just delivered a worthy son, fortunate son’.Such words make the woman feel happy and motivate her to continue pushing the baby out.

Immediately after the delivery of the child, one should confirm whether the placenta has been expelled out or not. If it is not expelled, then one of the female attendants should forcefully press her abdomen from above the navel region with her right hand and holding her back with left, should give a good shake to the body of the patient. The hip region of the patient should be pressed with the heels and her buttocks should be taken by hand and strongly pressed by the attendant. Her throat should be rubbed with the braid of her hair. The genital tract should be fumigated with the leaves of ''bhurja'' (Betula utilis D. Don.), ''kachamani'' (quartz) and ''sarpanirmoka'' (slough of serpent). She should be given paste of ''kushta'' (Saussurea lappa C. B. Clarke) and ''talisa'' (Abies webbiana Lindl.) mixed with the soup of ''balwaja'' (a hemp-like plant) or strong liquor of ''maireya'' and ''sura''-like beverages for drinking, or the soup of ''kulaththa'' (Dolichos biflorus Linn. - horse gram) or decoctions of ''mandukaparni'' (Centella asiatica Urban.) and ''pippali'' (Piper longum Linn.). The paste of ''laghu ela'' (Elettaria cardamomum Moton.), ''kilima'' (Devadaru – Cedrus deodara Loud.), ''kushta'' (Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke), ''shunthi'' (Zingiber officinale Rosc.), ''vidanga'' (Embeliaribes Burm f.), ''pippali'' (Piper longum Linn.), ''kalagaru'' (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. – black variety), ''chavya'' (Piper chaba Junter.), ''chitraka'' (Plumbago zeylanica Roxb.) and ''upakunjika'' (Nigella sativa Linn.)and crushed pieces of the right ear of a living untamed bull, pounding it on grinding stone and keeping it for some time in one of the decoctions of ''Balwaja'' (-?-) etc.;The liquid portion of this decoction should be administered to the patient as a drink. A cotton swab soaked in the oil prepared with ''shatapushpa'' (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), ''kushta'' (Saussurea lappa C. B. Clarke), ''Madana'' (Randia dumetorum Lam.) and ''hingu'' (Ferula narthex Boiss.) should be inserted into her vaginal passage, and with the same oil, ''anuvasana basti'' (unctuous enema) should be administered to her. The decoction of ''Balwaja''(-?-) should be mixed with apaste of ''madanaphala''(Randia duemtorum Lam.), ''devadali'' (Luffaechinata Roxb.),''ikshvaku'' (Legenaria siceraria Standl.), ''dhamargava'' (Luffa cylindrica M. Roem.), ''kutaja'' (Holarrhena antidysenterica Wall.), ''kritavedhana'' (Luffa acutangula Roxb.) and ''gajapippali'' (Scindapsus officilanlis Schott.) and administered in the form of ''asthapana basti'' (non-unctuous enema).This non-unctuous enema will lead to the expulsion of the retained placenta while passing flatulence, urine and bowel movementsby the downward movement of ''vayu''. Bodily wastes have a tendency to come out of the body naturally, but may get obstructed inside the abdomen, obstructing the ejection of the placenta too. [41]

While administering the various procedures described in the preceding verse to remove the placenta from the mother’s body, certain measures should also be performed on the newly born child, such as gently striking the stones near the root of the ear, and sprinkling of cold or hot water over its face, to rejuvenate its vital breath that might have stopped due to distress. If the child is not movingor does not revive, it should then be fanned with a winnowing basket made of bamboo etc. till it regains consciousness (the procedures to be continued till consciousness is established). Once respiration is established and gets normalized, then he should be given a good bath and cleansed thoroughly. [42]

Thereafter, the palate, lips, throat and tongue of the child should be cleaned with a clean cotton swab using a finger of the attendant, whose nails have been well manicured.  After cleaning the mouth, a cotton swab well soaked in oil should be placed over the ''shirastalu'' (anterior fontanel) and then a procedure to provoke vomiting should be administered using ghee with ''saindhava'' (rock salt).

Thereafter, the umbilical cord is measured. The cord should be marked at a distance of eight angula (thumb-length) from its base where it is attached at the navel of the child, and then holding the cord gently and firmly on both the ends, it should be cut with a sharp half-edged instrument made of gold, silver or iron (steel). The portion of the cord at the navel side should be tied with a thread and then loosely tied to the neck of the child. If the umbilicus end gets suppurated, then it should be anointed with oil prepared with paste of ''lodhra'' (Symplocos racemosa Roxb.), ''madhuka'' (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.), ''priyangu'' (Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl.), ''devadaru'' (Cedrus deodara Loud.) and ''haridra'' (Curcuma longa Linn.), and the powder of the same drugs should be sprinkled over the cut surface.

Improper cutting of the umbilical cord and administering of measures explained in the preceding verse could lead to complications such as ''ayamottundita'' (vertical swelling), ''vyayamottundita'' (horizontal swelling), ''pindalika'' (lumpy swellings or formation of a circular ring around the umblicus), ''vinamika'' (swelling in the margins with depression at centre), and ''vijrumbhika'' (swelling with constant increase in size as in umblical hernia). In case of these complications, by carefully observing the severity of the condition (mild to severe involvement of the ''doshas''), it should be treated using massages, unction, and sprinkling of ghee prepared with drugs that are non-irritants and ''vata'' and ''pitta'' pacifying. [45]

Thereafter, birth-rites of the child should be performed per vedic rituals, which are as follows: first of all, honey and ghee duly “consecrated” with vedic mantras (chanted by brahmanas or priests) should be anointed to the child. Breast milk should first be fed from the right breast, and should be done so after performing the rituals mentioned above. An earthen pot filled with water should be consecrated with mantras and kept near the head of the child. [46]

This verse describes measures to protect the newborn. To start with, the maternity home should be surrounded by the branches of ''adani'' (-?-),''khadira'' (Acacia catechu Willd.), ''karkandhu'' (Zyzyphus nummularia W.&A.), ''pilu'' (Salvadora persica Linn.), and ''parushaka'' (Grewiaasiatica Linn.).''Sarshapa'' (Brassica nigra Linn - mustard seeds), ''atasi'' (Linum ustatissimum Linn.), and ''tandula kanakanika'' (pieces of broken rice) should be spread all over the floors in the maternity home. The sacrificial ritual of offering rice to fire should be performed every morning and evening till the naming ceremony for the child is complete. At the door-sill, a wooden pestle should be kept obliquely. A ''potli'' (bag) containing ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus Linn.), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke.), ''choraka'' (Ksaumaka -?-), ''hingu'' (Ferula narthex Boiss.), ''sarshapa'' (Brassica nigra Koch.), ''atasi'' (Linum usitatissimum Linn.), ''lashuna'' (Alium sativum Linn.), ''kanakanika'' (-?-) and other drugs known to be repellents of evil spirits should be tied to the door-sill, and to the necks of the mother and the child , and should also be put into cooking utensils, water jars, bed, and on either side of the door panels. There should be a fire lighted constantly with the fire woods of ''kanakanika'' (-?-), and ''tinduka'' (Diospyros peregrine Gurke.) at the fireplace within the maternity home. The attending women (of the qualities mentioned earlier) should keep vigilance of the maternity home for ten to twelve days. The whole house should be kept busy with people who are pious, affectionate and happy, and kept engaged with gifts, encouraging blessings, praise, song, music food and drinks. In order to bestow auspicious blessings on the mother and the child, ''brahmins'' well versed in Atharva Veda should perform ritual sacrifices in the sacred fire two times a day. These are, rituals and measures that need to be put in place to protect the mother and the child. [47]
 
This verse describes measures to protect the newborn. To start with, the maternity home should be surrounded by the branches of ''adani'' (-?-),''khadira'' (Acacia catechu Willd.), ''karkandhu'' (Zyzyphus nummularia W.&A.), ''pilu'' (Salvadora persica Linn.), and ''parushaka'' (Grewiaasiatica Linn.).''Sarshapa'' (Brassica nigra Linn - mustard seeds), ''atasi'' (Linum ustatissimum Linn.), and ''tandula kanakanika'' (pieces of broken rice) should be spread all over the floors in the maternity home. The sacrificial ritual of offering rice to fire should be performed every morning and evening till the naming ceremony for the child is complete. At the door-sill, a wooden pestle should be kept obliquely. A ''potli'' (bag) containing ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus Linn.), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke.), ''choraka'' (Ksaumaka -?-), ''hingu'' (Ferula narthex Boiss.), ''sarshapa'' (Brassica nigra Koch.), ''atasi'' (Linum usitatissimum Linn.), ''lashuna'' (Alium sativum Linn.), ''kanakanika'' (-?-) and other drugs known to be repellents of evil spirits should be tied to the door-sill, and to the necks of the mother and the child , and should also be put into cooking utensils, water jars, bed, and on either side of the door panels.

After the delivery (i.e., in the post-partum period) when the new mother feels hungry and needs nourishment, suitable fatty substances like ghee, oil, and majja (muscle fat or marrow), duly mixed with the powders of pippali (Piper longum Linn.), pippalimula (root of Piper longum Linn.), chavya (Piper chaba Hunter.), chitraka (Plumbagozeylanica Linn.) and shrungabera (Zingiberofficinale Rocs.) should be given to her, according to her status of  appetitie. Once she has eaten, she should be given a good massage on her abdomen with ghee and oil and then a big clean cloth should be wrapped around her abdomen so that vayu may not find a place to cause any ailment. Once the food eaten is digested, she should take liquid gruel prepared with pippali (Piper longum Linn.) etc., mixed with unctuous substances in copious amounts. She should take a warm water bath before taking meals, though. This regimen should be continued for five to seven nights. [48]

If the mother is afflicted with any disease at this puerperal stage, then the condition becomes either difficult to cure or incurable because her body has suffered throughout pregnancy and parturition; because of providing nourishment for growth and development of fetus as well as discharges of blood and kleda during parturition she is vulnerable to doshic afflictions and various diseases.It is therefore important for a weak mother, or a mother afflicted with sickness to be specifically treated with massages, oil anointments, warm baths, food and drink prepared with drugs that are bhautika (alleviators of evil spirits), and of jivaniya, brimhaniya, madhura and vatahar classes of medications.

On the tenth day of delivery, the woman, along with her child, should take bath in water treated with fragrant herbs, shveta sarshapa (white variety of mustard – Brassica nigra Koch.) and lodhra (Symplocos recemosa Roxb.). They should be dressed in light, new and clean garments, while the woman should also be adorned in pure, light and variegated ornaments. The garments and ornaments should have been consecrated using Vedic rituals, and blessed by priests wearing white garments and without any physical deformities. Then the child, having been wrapped in a new garment, should be placed with his head facing the east or the north. The father of the child should pay obeisance to the Gods and Brahmins on behalf of the child and then give it two names: one denoting the nakshatra under which it was born and the other intended for social interactions. The name for social purpose should have a Ghosha (sonant) for its first letter and for its last a Antastha (semi-vowel) or usman (sibilants and aspirate), should be free of Vriddhi(diphthongs), indicative of one of the three ancestors (father, grandfather and great grandfather) and not a new created The constellar name should be identical to that of the diety of the nakshatra and should be made up of two or four (Sanskrit) syllables.

The breast milk which does not fit the above description is to considered vitiated and unfit for the child’s consumption. Milk that assumes a darkish or reddish hue, astringent in after-taste, clear, of no marked smell, dry, watery, frothy and light in texture or form, and is not satisfying causes emaciation, gives rise to vatika disorders, and thus, should be considered vata-vitiated. Milk that looks blackish, bluish, yellow, or coppery, has an after-taste which is sour or pungent, which smells like a corpse or like blood, and which is very warm is pitta-vitiated and could cause pittaja disorders. Finally, the milk that is very white, very sweet with a saltish after-taste, that has odour like ghee, oil, flesh-marrow or bone-marrow, is viscid, thready and sinks in water without mixing, gives rise to disorders of kapha and should be considered as kapha-vitiated milk.

If any of the three varieties of vitiated milks described in the preceding verse is in advertently consumed by the child, after ascertaining the specific features of the milk or the symptoms that are associated with a dosha affliction, emetics, purgatives and unctuous and non-unctuous enema specific to that afflicted dosha should be administered. The dietetic guidelines to a woman with vitiated milk are as follows: her food and drink should consist mainly of barley, wheat, sali and shashtika rice, mudga (Phaseolus mungo Linn. - green gram), harenuka (Lathyrus ashaca Linn.), sura, sauviraka, maireya and medaka varieties of wines, lashuna (Alium sativum Linn.) and karanja (Pongamia pinnata Merr.). The milk should be examined at frequent intervals for specific features and the appropriate corrective measures should be adopted. The decoctions of patha (Cissmpelos pareira Linn.), shunthi (Zingiberofficinale Rosc.), devadaru (Cedrusdeodara Loud.), musta (Cyperusrotundus Linn.), murva (Clemaistrilobaheyne ex Roth), guduchi (Tinosporacordifolia Miers.), indrayava (Holarrhenaantidysentrica wall.), kiratatikta (SwertiachirataBuch. -Ham.), katukarohini (Picrorhizakurroa Royle ex Benth.) and sariva (Hemidesmusindicus R. B.) are said to be beneficial. Similarly, other drugs with bitter, astringent, pungent and sweet tastes could also be administered, depending upon the nature of the disorder, dosage and season.

This verse describes the procedure of construction of the nursery. It should be built by a skillful architect and should be sturdy, beautiful, well lighted, protected from draught, well ventilated (with air-entry from only one direction), free from pests, animals, fanged creatures, mice and moths. It should be well accessible to places of water storage, grinding, lavatory, bath and cooking, should be comfortable during all seasons, and furnished with beds, seats and spreads suited to each season. Moreover, protective measures, holy offerings, auspicious rites, and oblations should be performed and the facility should be provided with clean and experienced physicians and with a compassionate and caring staff. Thus, the metod of construction of a child care nursery has been described. [59]

If some illness affects the child, then the physician, after cautiously examining the child, should thoroughly analyze his constitution, etiological factors, premonitory signs and symptoms, and all other factors concerned such as time and place, and then should proceed to treat him by medication that is sweet in taste and smell, soft, light, cold and pleasant. Such measures suit the palate of the children and make the administering of drugs that much easier. As regards a healthy child, the regimen prescribed for regular consumption is the same as that mentioned as code of conduct for the healthy. Following these ensures that the child attains the excellence of strength, healthy complexion, bodily growth and longevity. [65]
