Amongst the facetious gossips of the puerperal chamber three necessary phaḷa (viz. māyaphaḷa gallnut, jāyaphaḷa nutmeg, kāyaphaḷa Kiliorum bark) are thus interpreted:--māyaphaḷa fruit of māyā or the marvelworking power of God, i.e. offspring, a child; next comes (rejoins a gossip) jāyaphaḷa go-away, departing, perishable fruit; then (exclaims a third gossip) kāya phaḷa? What fruit--what advantage?
