Sūta said:: In due course, the foetus becomes a bubble.[8] Just as the lump of clay assumes some form of an image on being whirled in the wheel and shaped by the potter’s hands so also the physical body is evolved, endowed with organic matter and filled with vital airs. As long as the external air[9] does not touch the child in the womb he thinks thus—“when I leave off the vaginal passage[10] I shall resort to Maheśvara and worship Mahādeva. The foetus becomes a human being according to the pre-ordained form and age.
