The Compendium of Kāśyapa 3.7

3.7.1

athāto jātisūtrīyaṃ vyākhyāsyāmaḥ

Now we shall expound the chapter on the origins of conception.

3.7.2

iti ha smāha bhagavān kaśyapaḥ

Thus said the venerable Kaśyapa.

In each and every species, nature alone is the producer of diversity in form. For by nature, the minute particles of wind, which are responsible for conjunction, disjunction, and motion, divide contraction, expansion, the visceral organs, the minor limbs, bodily tissues, consciousness, and the microchannels. When properly placed, just as bodily tissue is deposited, a man brings forth a man, a cow a cow, a horse a horse, and so forth. / And among human beings, too, the formation of the embryo takes place. There, if the increase of offspring occurs for both spouses through nature or through the ripening of their own past actions, they are fortunate; otherwise, they are to be treated by a physician. / One should treat them progressively with unction, sudation, emesis, purgation, decoction enemas, and unctuous enemas; the man should be nourished with milk and medicated ghee prepared with sweet herbs, and the woman with sesame oil and meat—so say some; 'only with what is adaptively wholesome,' says Prajāpati.

3.7.4

And just as within a flower the unformed fruit is extremely subtle and is not perceived, and just as fire, all-pervading in wood, is not perceived because of the absence of friction, so in a woman and a man blood and semen are dependent on time and dependent on their own past actions. For in both, blood and semen arise in their sixteenth year; even earlier they become fully developed through excellence of diet and health—so says the assembly.

3.7.4.p1

rajasvalāyāścet prathame'hani garbha āpadyeta taṃ vātagarbhamācakṣate viphalaṃ

If conception should occur on the first day of a menstruating woman, they call that a wind-pregnancy, which is fruitless.

3.7.4.p2

vātapuṣpamivodbhidānāṃ dvitīye'hani cet sraṃsate cyavate vā tṛtīye'hani

like an unfertilised blossom of plants. If on the second day, it drops down or is aborted. If on the third day,

3.7.4.p3

sūtikāsane mriyate na vā dīrghāyurbhavati hīnāṅgaśca jāyate ata

it dies on the delivery chair, or it does not live long and is born with deficient limbs. Beyond that,

3.7.4.p4

ūrdhvamṛturdvādaśāhaṃ brāhmaṇīnāmekādaśāhaṃ kṣatriyāṇāṃ daśāhaṃ vaiśyānāṃ

the fertile period is twelve days for Brahmin women, eleven days for Kṣatriya women, ten days for Vaiśya women,

3.7.4.p5

navarātramitarāsām | ṛturbījakālamavekṣata ityāhurmaharṣayaḥ | ata

and nine nights for other women. The great seers have declared that the fertile period attends upon the time of the seed. Beyond that,

3.7.5

ūrdhvamakālajamāhuḥ | akālajaṃ hīnaṃ durbalamasthiramadṛḍhamapīnabhaṅguraṃ
dhānyamiva bhavati

they declare what is born to be out-of-season. For what is born out-of-season is deficient, weak, unstable, not robust, lean, and fragile like [blighted] grain.

3.7.6

yugmeṣvahaḥsu putrakāmo'nyatra kanyārthī harṣitastṛpto'nuruddhaḥ striyamupeyāditi siddham

On even days, one desiring a son, or otherwise one desiring a daughter, joyful, satisfied, and attentive, should approach the woman: this is established.

3.7.6.p1

atha śuddhasnātāṃ striyaṃ caturthe'hani snānagṛhe śvetena evā'nyena vāsasā'vaguṇṭhyānavalokayantī śucirdevagṛhaṃ praviśyodghaṭāgniṃ prajvalantaṃ

Now, on the fourth day, the woman, having bathed after purification, veiled in the bathing chamber with a different, white garment, looking at nothing else, pure, having entered the sanctuary and facing the blazing, open fire,

3.7.6.p2

ghṛtākṣatenābhyarcya brāhmaṇamīśvaraṃ viṣṇuṃ skandaṃ ca saṃprekṣyābhivādya

having worshipped it with clarified butter and unbroken grains, beholding and paying homage to a Brahmin, Īśvara, Viṣṇu, and Skanda,

3.7.6.p3

niṣkramya sūryācandramasāviti na tu pretapiśācarakṣāṃsi śuddhasnātamātrā

and having stepped outside, [she should look at] the sun and the moon, but never at ghosts, Piśācas, or Rakṣases. For just after having bathed for purification,

3.7.7

hi strī yaṃ vā paśyati manasā vā'bhidhyāyati tādṛśācāravapuṣaṃ prāyeṇa
janayati tasmāddevagobrāhmaṇaguruvṛddhācāryān sataḥ paśyet kalyāṇamanāśca syāt | na tu sandhyayoḥ snānaṃ maithunaṃ vopeyānnānyamanā iti

whatever a woman sees or contemplates with her mind, she generally gives birth to one possessing conduct and bodily form resembling that; therefore, she should look at gods, cows, Brahmins, elders, teachers, and virtuous people, and her mind should be auspicious. But she should not take a bath or engage in copulation at the twilights, nor should she be distracted in mind.

3.7.7.p1

Then the officiating priest should offer the rite for obtaining a son: cooked meat-rice, two vāta-destroying portions of clarified butter, an eight-pot-sherd cake made of barley, and an oblation of boiled rice; both [the son and daughter to be born] will be endowed with voice and lifespan, not […] Having consecrated the patron's portion with the verse beginning with 'ā brahman brāhmaṇaḥ', the married couple should consume the remainder. A white bull, a horse, or gold

3.7.7.p2

vā bhiṣaje saiva dakṣiṇā saivamanāhitāgneḥ śālāgnau nityaṃ homaṃ hutvā

should be given to the physician; this is the sacrificial fee. In the very same way, in the case of one who has not established the sacred fires, having offered the daily oblation in the domestic hall fire,

3.7.7.p3

tenaiva mantreṇa hutaśeṣaṃ tau prā | śayanīye mṛdusvāstīrṇopahite'syai bhartā

with that very mantra the two should consume the remainder of the oblation. On a bed softly and properly spread and furnished with a pillow, for her the husband

3.7.8

---tra lakṣmaṇāmadbhirāloḍya somaḥ pavata ityetena śatajaptena sāvitryā vyāhṛtibhiḥ apo devīrupasṛja iti mantreṇa nasyaṃ dattvā vāmadevyaṃ

[…] having stirred lakṣmaṇā with water, having recited a hundred times the verse 'somaḥ pavate' along with the Gāyatrī and the sacred utterances, having administered an errhine with the mantra 'apo devīr upasṛja', and having recited the Vāmadevya chant, he should cause the woman to lie down on her right side, and the man should lie beside her on his left side, turned slightly upward. He should slowly perform [intercourse] for the sake of offspring. When the seed is deposited, he should pause and then withdraw, and he should cleanse with cold water. Beyond that, she should avoid heating, exposure to fire, exertion, exercise, grief, and the like.

3.7.8.p1

sā cedicched gauramojasvinaṃ śucimāyuṣmantaṃ putraṃ janayeyamiti tasyā

If she desires, 'May I give birth to a fair-complexioned, vital, pure, and long-lived son,' for her,

3.7.8.p2

evaṃ śuddhasnānāt prabhṛti śuklayavasaktūnāṃ madhughṛtābhyāṃ śvetāyāḥ

in this way from the time of the bath of purification onwards, roasted flour of white barley mixed with honey and clarified butter, and with the milk of a white cow

3.7.8.p3

śvetapuṃvatsāyā goḥ kṣīreṇa saṃsṛjya manthaṃ rājate pātre kāṃsye vā sadā

having a white male calf, prepared as a churned beverage, should constantly be given [to her] to drink in a silver or bronze vessel.

3.7.8.p4

pāyayet śāligaurayavakṣīradadhighṛtaprāyaṃ ca kāle mātrayā aśnīyāt

At the proper time, she should eat in measured amounts [food] consisting mostly of śāli rice, white barley, milk, curd, and clarified butter.

3.7.8.p5

puṣpābharaṇavāsāṃsi ca śuklāni bibhṛyāt sāyaṃ prātaśca śvetamaśvaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ

She should wear white flowers, ornaments, and garments. Evening and morning, she should look upon a white horse or a white bull.

3.7.9

She should occupy herself with gentle, beneficial, and pleasing stories, and she should be surrounded by congenial attendants; thus she gives birth to the desired offspring. But she who desires a dark-complexioned son with reddish eyes and a broad chest, or a black-complexioned one—in that case, there should be similar treatment with regard to food, clothing, flowers, ornaments, and contemplation of a corresponding region. But to those who desire a daughter, one should give barley gruel; those prepared with milk, water, and sesame promote complexion. Complexions other than fair, dark, and black are censured.

3.7.9.p1

Food is of four kinds, based on the six tastes, and of twenty varieties due to the differentiation of heavy, light, cold, hot, unctuous, dry, dull, sharp, stable, mobile, soft, hard, clear, slimy, smooth, rough, minute, gross, dense, and liquid. By it, the bodily tissues, from the skin to semen, are nourished.

3.7.9.p2

teṣāṃ samānaṃ vardhanamaviruddhāśanam | vātādīnāṃ tu dhātūnāmanye

Their increase is brought about by like [substances] and by compatible food. But with respect to the bodily tissues such as vāta, other

3.7.9.p3

dhātava āpyāyitā bhavanti bhujyamānaṃ māṃsaṃ māṃsasya śoṇitaṃ

bodily tissues become nourished: meat being consumed [promotes] meat, blood [promotes]

blood; yet that is undesirable out of fear of demerit. One should instead nourish the depleted bodily tissues through pure foods possessing those qualities. In depletion of semen, the use of milk, clarified butter, and other sweet, unctuous, and life-promoting substances

3.7.10

that do not cause burning digestion is recommended. In depletion of urine, moreover, [the use of] sugarcane juice, vāruṇī liquor, scum of gruel, liquid, sweet, sour, and salty [substances], buttermilk, jaggery, cucumber, and moistening agents [is recommended]. In depletion of faeces, the use of dishes made from barley, half-cooked pulse, black gram, ṣaṣṭika rice, barley groats, cow's milk products, sour, salty, and unctuous vegetables [is recommended]. In depletion of vāta, the use of pungent, bitter, astringent, light, dry, cold barley food [is recommended]. In depletion of pitta, [the use of] pungent, salty, sour, sharp, hot substances and alkaline ashes [is recommended]. In depletion of kapha, [the use of] unctuous, sweet, heavy, and dense substances, and the like [is recommended].

tasyā asyāmavasthāyāmupayāceta devatāḥ

Whatever articles are sacred, auspicious, pure, / new, unbroken and whole, bearing masculine names, and pleasant, / one should present those—both garments and ornaments—to the pregnant woman; / she should not wear or receive items with feminine or neuter names. / A chamber that is fumigated, worshipped, cleaned, free from mosquitoes and the like, / and resounding with the sounds of Vedic recitations accompanied by musical instruments, is recommended. / Rising in the morning after performing bodily purification, devoted to the worship of the guru and the gods, / she should worship the rising sun with perfumes, incense, offerings of water, and prayers. / The pregnant woman should never look upon the waning moon, or upon the setting sun, / nor upon either during an eclipse caused by Rāhu. / Having heard that the moon and sun are gripped by an eclipse, the pregnant woman, staying in the inner chamber, / should remain intent on pacifying homa rituals and pray for their release. / She should not despise a guest; she should give alms and not turn [anyone] away. / And in a fire blazing by itself, she should offer clarified butter for peace. / A full jar, clarified butter, a garland, a full vessel, clarified butter, and curd— / the pregnant woman should not obstruct anything, nor should she tie or bind [anything]. / Stoppage and bindings, [even] with a thin thread or rope, / the pregnant woman must constantly avoid; she may freely untie knots. / Now indeed, one should observe these signs in a pregnant woman, / seeing which one may know [the time] and begin the procedures for the birth of the child: / dullness of the face, fatigue of the limbs, slackness in the fixation of the eyes, / drooping of the belly, heaviness of the lower part [of the body], / severe piercing pain in the back, flanks, hips, bladder, and groins, / discharge from the vagina, generous appetite, aversion to food, restlessness, and exhaustion. / Having observed these signs, after having the Brahmins recite auspicious blessings, / elderly women, skilled and properly trained, should enter. / Speaking pleasantly, they should soothe the pregnant woman and cheer her up; / they should console her regarding virtue and wealth, urging forward Prajāpati. / They should recount the worlds and diverse pleasures of women with sons, / and the torments of sonless women in hell and other places. / They should recite [the names of] Aditi, the divine Kaśyapa, Indrāṇī, Indra, the Aśvins, / those who are long-lived, those with sons, and auspicious beings. / A thread-like, scanty, slimy discharge indicates the birth of a son; / a discharge resembling kiṃśuka water indicates the birth of a daughter. / But as for discharges occurring after delivery, one should condemn and pacify them. / In this condition of hers, she should pray to the deities. / When the woman's foetus is inverted and the mouth of the afterbirth is open, / while the gripping contractions are present, the pregnant woman should turn over. / When the gripping pains are not intense, the woman gives birth quickly; / with delayed labour pains, the foetus causes suffering to the woman. / In this condition, some physicians prescribe exercise such as [pounding with] a pestle, / yawning, walking, and the like as beneficial. / But the venerable Kaśyapa says that all of that is to be avoided. / For at the time of delivery, a woman's body is crushed; / the three humours become provoked, and the bodily tissues are displaced. / The pregnant woman in that state must indeed be supported with great care. / For the delicate sensitivity of a pregnant woman is excessive, and she is easily worn out; / especially at the time of discharges, she is prone to depression and fear. / 'One foot is in the realm of Yama, one foot is resting here'— / seeing her agony, the women thus whisper among themselves. / Therefore, in this condition of hers, exercise is not recommended; / for indulgence in exercise would quickly destroy the pregnant woman. / Even by excessive walking, she might destroy the presenting foetus, / and meet with a terrible calamity that causes the end of the body. / Therefore, repeatedly seated, unwearied and modest, / accompanied by elderly women and the required articles, the woman desirous of offspring should give birth. / Sweet flag, lāṅgalikī, kuṣṭha, cirabilva, cardamom, and leadwort / powdered and sniffed at the mouth—thus she gives birth quickly. / Or she may inhale the smoke of birch-bark, of nameru, or of guggulu; / then the foetus descends, and thus she is quickly delivered. / The flanks, joints, hips, and back, smeared with warm oil, / wise and gentle women should slowly massage and stroke downward. / Some say one should make a weak woman drink liquor; Kaśyapa says: 'No.' / If afflicted beforehand in the same manner, she, being thirsty, should drink gruel. / When the amniotic fluid flows into the vagina with pain, / prompted by time, the foetus releases the heart and abdomen, / and seizes the neck of the bladder and the lower passage at birth; / and extreme exhaustion arises, with pressing down and splitting of the vagina— / through these signs one should recognise the inversion of the foetus. / And now she must deliver; then she should mount the couch. / A coverlet or a pillow [...]—only this much of the section on the body is available.
