कानीनगर्भ: पितृकन्यकायां तस्मादृषेस्त्वं भविता च पुत्र:,उन्हीं ऋषिसे तुम पिताके घरमें रहनेवाली एक कुमारी कन्याके पुत्ररूपसे जन्म लोगे और कानीनगर्भ (कन्याकी संतान) कहलाओगे

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores how dharma literature classifies a person’s social-ritual identity through recognized categories of birth and guardianship (here, a child born to an unmarried maiden living in her father’s house), emphasizing the normative frameworks by which lineage and status are discussed.
Vaiśampāyana describes a foretold birth: the addressed person will be born as the son of a sage through a maiden daughter residing in her father’s household, and will consequently bear the designation kānīna-garbha.
