272 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 8

TRANSLATION

By nature the doe was always afraid of being killed by others,
and it was always looking about suspiciously. When it heard the
lion’s tumultuous roar, it became very agitated. Looking here and
there with disturbed eyes, the doe, although it had not fully
satisfied itself by drinking water, suddenly leaped across the river.

slipped out: yoni-nirgatah—coming out of the womb: garbhah—the

TRANSLATION

The doe was pregnant, and when it jumped out of fear, the baby
deer fell from its womb into the flowing waters of the river.

PURPORT
There is every chance of a woman's having a miscarriage if she ex-
periences some ecstatic emotion or is frightened. Pregnant women should
therefore be spared all these external influences.
