Passing their days in misery and in expectation of fruit, they always ask themselves-Shall these come out of the womb safely? Shall these live after birth? Shall they grow in power and be honoured on Earth? Will they give us happiness in this and the next world?
यदि स्वस्ति प्रजायन्ते जाता जीवन्ति वा यदि। सम्भाविता जातबलास्ते दधुर्यदि नः सुखम्॥ इह चामुत्र चैवेति कृपणाः फलहेतवः।
