The verse highlights alignment with ṛtu (proper time/season) in family life, suggesting that key life events—especially conception and birth—are ideally undertaken in an orderly, dharma-consistent manner.
Vaiśampāyana reports that Devayānī, when the proper time came, conceived and then gave birth to her first child, a son—marking the continuation of lineage within the story.
