In the eighth month, she should repeatedly drink milk-gruel containing ghee at appropriate times; Bhadrakāpya says that this is not so, for an affliction of tawny-eyedness would come upon her embryo; the venerable Punarvasu Ātreya says: 'Let there be an affliction of tawny-eyedness here, but this is certainly not something to be left undone; for doing thus, she, free from disease, gives birth to an offspring endowed with the excellence of health, strength, complexion, voice, and compactness, foremost even among kin.'
