Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Pure semen is very unctuous, fragrant and sweet, like crystal, honey or sesame oil; pure menstrual blood is red like liquid realgar, hamsapadi paste, hare's blood, lac juice or bright saffron, and washes out of a cloth without staining it.

Detailed answer

The commentary says excellent offspring come only from such semen and that offspring arise from such artava. With predominance of pure artava a girl is conceived, with predominance of semen a boy and with their equality a napumsaka, all following the predominant karma of the past.
