• Mother's father and Soul independently cannot satisfy all the requirements for the formation of a foetus. They
themselves do certain things and some other things they do because of the force of the actions of the previous life.
They possess the ability to do certain things themselves. For some other things, they do not have that ability.
• It is only when these factors are added with the excellence of other factors, viz. mind, sense organs, sperm, ovum
etc., depending upon the actions in the previous life, they have the capacity to manifest things by themselves
• . Because of defects in these factors, the Soul ( devoid of such instruments in their normal state ) cannot help in the
formation of a foetus if He is not properly It is well equipped with other factors in excellent condition.
• known that individuals who have realized Soul of their own can enter into the desired womb and attain salvation.
There is none else who is responsible for the happiness and sorrow The foetus is not formed by anything else of the
individual being born. Nothing can be germinated from anything but seeds, [ 9]

यानि खल्वस्य गर्भस्य सात्म्यजानि, यानि चास्य सात्म्यतः सम्भवतः सम्भवन्ति, तान्यनुव्याख्यास्यामः;
• The foetus is produced from out of the wholesomeness.
• There cannot be sterility of the man, women or defects in the foetus without
resorting to unwholesome things. Human beings are capable of procreating offsprings
as long as the ovum and uterus of men and women are not afflicted by the circulation
of the three doşas vitiated by the intake of unwholesome things. Even during the
period of fertilization, union ( sexual ) of the men and women who are given to
wholesome things and whose sperms, ovums and uterus are unimpaired, do not
produce the offspring if the Soul does not enter into it. Therefore, wholesomeness
alone is not responsible for the formation of the foetus. It is the combination of all
the factors which is responsible for the production of the foetus. We shall here-after
describe these aspects of the individual derived from wholesomeness and which are
manifested because of the existence of such wholesomeness.

यानि तु खल्वस्य गर्भस्य रसजानि, यानि चास्य रसतः सम्भवतः सम्भवन्ति, तान्यनुव्याख्यास्यामः;The foetus is
produced from out of rasa ( digestive product of the mother's food ). Without rasa
even the mother will not live what to speak of the formation of the foetus in in her
womb. Employment of improper nourishment do not help in the production of the
foetus. Conversely, a foetus is not formed simply by the employment of proper
nourishment. Here also the combination of all the factors is responsible for the
production of the foetus. We shall hereafter describe
those aspects of the individual

Mind is also the connecting link which connects the Soul with the physical body. So, on the eve of
death when the mind starts living the body, there occurs a change in the normal behaviour and
inclinations, the sense organs are disturbed,strength diminishes and living beings are attacked with
diseases. Living beings devoid of mind, breath their last because the sense organs derive their
inspiration from nothing but mind.The objects of senses are of three types, viz, sattvika, rājasa and
tāmasa.
The mind dominated by any of the above mentioned attributes in one life follows in the subsequent
life as well. When the individual is endowed with the sattvika type of mind from his previous life then
he can recall things even beyond that life ( that is he can recall the events of his past life ). Because of
the continuity of the same mind, he can remember things of the past incarnation. Because of this
power to recall things of the past incarnation, the individual is called as "jatismara".
