She brings forth a long-lived son, endowed with fame and intelligence, wealthy, with numerous offspring, good and righteous.—(263)
Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
Having eaten the said ball, ‘she brings forth’—gives birth to—‘a son.’
‘Inteligence’—the faculty of grasping things; the child is endowed with this.
‘Suttra,’ ‘goodness,’ is an attribute postulated by the Sāṅkhyas; and its presence is indicated by firmness, courage, and such other qualities—(263).
This verse is quoted in Parāśaramādhava (Ācāra, p. 759);—in Aparārka (p. 550);—in Śrāddhakriyākaumudī (p. 215):—and in Gadādharapaddhati (Kāla, p. 553).
