''Gotra'', in literal Sanskrit, means cowshed. However, in common parlance, it denotes the progeny (or a clan) of a common male ancestor (usually, a ''rishi'', or a sage). ''Atulya Gotra'', or diversity in clans, is what the sages of antiquity professed, thus laying the foundation of genetics in Ayurveda. In this chapter, LordAtreya answers thirty six specific questions of Agnivesha on a wide range of topics such as the causes of human embryo, labour, sex determination of the embryo, congenital anomalies, transmigration of the atma, and related phenomena. Apart from these, causes of disease, treatment, preventive measures and the role of past and present deeds of one-self in causation of disease etc are discussed.
