The Sage said — O Brahmin! I will now tell you about inauspicious and unusual deliveries by women which are ominous for the village, town and the country. These may be of the following kinds — (1) Delivery of a child 2, 3 or 4 months earlier or later from the approximate due date. (2) Delivery of a child without hands, feet or any other limbs, without head or with two heads. (3) Delivery of an animal shaped being by a woman or a human shaped being by an animal.
