Garbhotpatti – genesis of the fetus
सौम्यं शुक्रमार्तवमाग्नेयमितरेषामप्यत्र भूतानां सान्निध्यमस्त्यणुना विशेषेण, परस्परोपकारात् (परस्परानुग्रहात्,) परस्परानुप्रवेशाच्च ||३||

These two, together with different Bhutas i.e. components i.e. Prithvi – earth aspect, Vayu – air aspect and Akasa – ether aspect, particularly of their minute kind, mix to mutually assist one another and likewise merge into each other in order to kind the Garbha – embryo.
Notes: -Each Sukra and Artava are made up of Pancha Bhutas i.e. 5 main components of creation. Garbha – embryo is fashioned when sukra and sonita / artava mix collectively. On this course of, every aspect helps the opposite within the formation of Garbha.
