Aitareya • Chapter 4 • Shloka 3
सा भावयित्री भावयितव्या भवति। तं स्त्री गर्भ बिभर्ति। सोऽग्र एव कुमारं जन्मनोऽग्रेऽधिभावयति।
स यत्कुमारं जन्मनोऽग्रेऽधिभावयत्यात्मानमेव तद्भावयत्येषं लोकानां सन्तत्या। एवं सन्तता हीमे लोकास्तदस्य द्वितीयं जन्म ॥
She, being the nourisher of the child, is herself worthy of being cared for and honored.
The woman carries the embryo within her.
Even before the child is born, the father supports and nurtures the child.
By nurturing the child before and after birth, he is in fact nurturing his own self, for through this continuation the worlds are sustained through successive generations.
Thus the continuity of life is maintained.
This is his second birth.
