Adhikaranas IV, V, and VI: (Sutras 22; 23; and 24 to 27) teach that
the subtle bodies of the souls descending from the Chandraloka
through the ether, air, etc., do not become identical with ether,
air, etc., but only live there; that they descend in a short time.
On entering into a corn or a plant the soul remains merely in
contact with it which is already animated by another soul. The soul
after having entered into a corn or a plant, gets connected with him
who eats the corn or fruit of the plant and performs the act of
copulation. The soul remains with him till he enters into the
mother's womb with the seminal fluid injected. The soul ultimately
enters the mother's womb and is brought forth as a child.
And here I always thought it was from watermelon seeds. Thank Agni and
Vedic science for setting me straight!
