Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
लग्नगर्भा विमुच्येत गर्भिणी जनयेत् सुतम् । वन्ध्या प्रसवमाप्रोति पुत्रपौत्रसमृद्धिमत्
lagnagarbhā vimucyeta garbhiṇī janayet sutam | vandhyā prasavam āpnoti putrapautrasamṛddhimat ||
जिसका गर्भ अटक गया हो, वह उससे मुक्त हो जाती है। गर्भवती स्त्री यथासमय पुत्र को जन्म देती है। वन्ध्या भी प्रसव प्राप्त करती है—जो पुत्र-पौत्र और समृद्धि से युक्त होता है।
