Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Garbhasrava is the loss of the fetus in the first four months; garbhapata is its loss in the fifth or sixth month.

Detailed answer

Verse 46 gives the causes of a fallen pregnancy (riding, much walking, slipping, intercourse, falls and blows) and verse 47 describes the young fetus up to four months, when excited vata causes distension, pain, retention of urine and heavy bleeding; the footnotes on PDF 275 fix the two terms by month.
