For birth of sons

The açvatthá [has] mounted upon the çamī́; there is made the generation of a male; that verily is the obtainment of a son; that we bring into women.

English · William Dwight Whitney

In the male, indeed, grows (bhū) the seed; that is poured along into the woman; that verily is the obtainment of a son; that Prajāpati said.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Prajāpati, Anumati, Sinīvālī hath shaped; may he put elsewhere woman-birth; but may he put here a male.
