TRANSLATION
After coming out of the abdomen, the child is given to the care of
persons who are unable to understand what he wants, and thus he is
nursed by such persons. Unable to refuse whatever is given to him, he falls
into undesirable circumstances.
PURPORT
Within the abdomen of the mother, the nourishment of the child was
being carried on by nature’s own arrangement. Although the atmosphere
within the abdomen was not at all pleasing, still, as far as the child’s
feeding was concerned, it was being properly done by the laws of nature.
But upon coming out of the abdomen the child falls into a different
atmosphere. He wants to eat one thing, but something else is given to him
because no one knows his actual demand, and he cannot refuse the
undesirables given to him. Sometimes the child cries for the mother’s
breast, but because the nurse thinks that it is due to pain within his
stomach that he is crying, she supplies him some bitter medicine. The
child does not want it, but he cannot refuse it. He is put in very awkward
circumstances, and the suffering continues.
