The foetus will progress according to the disposition of the months concerned (i.e. the respective lords, as mentioned in 4-15 to 4-19) and the delivery of the child should be predicted after making a thorough study of all the conditions.

Notes: Should the Grah concerned be afflicted in transit, when the foetus is undergoing various developments, the particular process is not safely taking place. For example, if Budh is combust, be eclipsed by Rahu etc., in the fifth month, then the child will not develop its intelligence well. Should Surya be afflicted in the 10^th month, for example, be caught in an eclipse, the delivery may be delayed beyond due date, or it may be very difficult, as against a normal one (See Sloka 21).

Should any particular months lord be afflicted, or defeated in war between Grahas, or combust in Surya, the particular process will not progress and there may not be smooth delivery.
