14.
Pumsavanam ( Mookku Pizhithal)
14.1 When the pregnancy ( garbham) is seen clearly
( during the 3rd or the 4th month) , Pumsavana samskAram should be done ;
it should be done when Poosa nakshathram is in ascendance
.
14.2 Poosam and other Five nakshathrams ( Hastham ,
Moolam , SravaNam , Punarpoosam and Mruugaseersham ) are " Male/Purusha "
nakshathrams and hence they are recommended
for Pumsavana
samskAram .
14.3 Pumsavanam should be performed during each
pregnancy . Some opine that it needs to be done only for the first pregnancy .
It should however be understood that those who desire the birth of a
male child should elect to perform Pumsavanam during each pregnancy
.
15.
Seemantha SamskAram
15.1 Seemantham has to be performed during the 4th
or the sixth or the 8th month of pregnancy and even all the way upto
Prasavam (birth of the child) . This samskAram confers suddhi ( cleanliness) to
the woman and therefore it is considered
sufficent to do it for the first prasavam ( for a child bearing woman) . There
are others who think that this samskAram
confers suddhi for the child and therefore , it should be performed
during each pregnancy .
Seemantham is a very important samskAram for the
pregnant woman that it should be done without fail even when the husband
may be away in a foreign land or has met with death during the pregnacy of
his wife .
The brother in law or the AchAryan or the
close relative with rights for soucham ( dAyAdhis) should take the
initative to complete this samskAram .
