Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryJāteṣṭi (जातेष्टि).—f. a sacrifice performed at the birth of a child. °न्यायः (nyāyaḥ) A rule of interpretation according to which the fruit of an act shall accrue to some one else than the performer if it is so directly declared by श्रुति (śruti) (even against the general rule viz. śāstraphalaṃ prayoktari). From this it follows that such an act must be performed so as not to cause destruction of one to whom the fruit is to accrue. This is discussed by जैमिनि (jaimini) and शबर (śabara) in connection with the वैश्वानरेष्टि (vaiśvānareṣṭi), whose fruit accrues to the son and which has to be performed only after the performance of the birth-rite to avoid the son's starvation to death. Read MS.4.3.38-39 and शबर (śabara)s भाष्य (bhāṣya) thereon.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
