A son born from all the limbs of his mother, comes out from her heart, and therefore it is that he is far dearer to his mother, albeit her friends are dear to her.* *Angapratyangaja: at., born from the limbs principal and minor. The commentator recounts the face, the breast, the abdomen, the hands and the feet as constituting the former; and eyes, fingers, etc., as the latter.
अङ्गप्रत्यङ्गजः पुत्रो हृदयाच्चाभिजायते। तस्मात् प्रियतरो मातुः प्रिया एव तु बान्धवाः॥
