ANCIENT "WISDOM OF OBSTETRICS ";UNMATCHED EVEN IN 21ST CENTURY;
FIRST "TEST TUBE "BABY OF THE WORLD !
*Once Bharadwaj muni went to take bath in Ganga as part of a ritual and there he laid eyes on the apsara Ghritachi, The apsara was coming out of the river after bath and her attire disoriented. Bharadwaj muni had a burning desire which he overcame but his vital fluid came out. He took this in a vessel (Droona = vessel) and out of which cameDronacharya (This accounts for the world’s first test tube baby, In vitro fertilization and Earliest incubator J). Dronacharya grew up at his father’s place learning all the martial arts, military arts and religion along with the Drupada, son of Panchala king.
[Mahabharta;sambav parv;chapter 129,verse 33-38].
*Again in the epic of Mahabharta,it has been stated that Kripi was the wife of Dronacharya and mother of Ashvthama.Kripi was the twin sister of Kripa.There is a interesting mythological story related to the birth of Kripa and Kripi.Accordingly Indra was frightened with sage Shardvan as he was a great archer with wonderful expertise in the all types of warfare.Indra directed one Apsara Janapadi to tempt Shardvan.Shardvan could not control his carnal desire and his semen fell on weeds.From there two children were born to the sage in a tuft of grass.Shardvan upset with himself left his hermitage to jungle for reparation. King Santanu found the twin children and brought them up out of compassion and named them Kripi and Kripa.
*Ashvthama was  son of of Dronacarya and Kripi.As soon as he was born,he cried and made a sound similar  to Ushirvas [Horse];hence was named Ashvthama.
