Now I have enough information to compile a thorough answer on the shlokas of Garbha Shareera from classical Ayurvedic texts. Here is a comprehensive compilation:

Garbha Shareera - Shlokas from Classical Ayurvedic Texts

Garbha Shareera (embryology/fetal anatomy) is described primarily in the Sharira Sthana (anatomical section) of Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam, and Ashtanga Sangraha.

1. Definition of Garbha

Charaka Samhita - Sharira Sthana 4/5:
शुक्रशोणितजीवसंयोगे तु खलु कुणिगते गर्भसंज्ञा र्वणत ॥३॥
Shukra-shonita-jeeva-samyoge tu khalu kunigatu garbha-samjna rvant
Meaning: The combination of Shukra (sperm), Shonita (ovum), and Jeeva (life principle/Atma) in the Kukshi (uterus) is called Garbha (embryo). (Cha. Sha. 4/5)

Sushruta Samhita - Sharira Sthana 3/7:
शुक्रशोणितयोः संयोगे गर्भाशये क्षेत्रे प्रकृतिभिरष्टाभिर्विकारैश्च षोडशभिः सह आत्माधिष्ठितः गर्भः।
Shukra-shonita-yoh samyoge garbhashaye ksetre prakrtibhir-ashtabhir-vikaraishca shodasha-bhih saha atmadhishthitah garbhah.
Meaning: The combined state of Shukra (sperm) and Shonita (ovum) in the Garbhashaya (uterus), intermixed with the eight Prakriti (elementary principles) and sixteen Vikaras, ridden by the Atma (soul), is called Garbha. (Su. Sha. 3/7)

2. Factors Required for Garbha Formation

Charaka Samhita - Sharira Sthana 4/5-6 describes six factors (Shadbhava) essential for Garbha:
ऋतु क्षेत्रमम्बु बीजं हृदयं सत्त्वमेव च। समग्राणि हि सम्पन्नं पुत्रमिच्छन्ति तद्विदः॥
Ritu kshetram ambu beejan hridayam sattvam eva ca Samagrani hi sampannam putram icchanti tad-vidah
Meaning: Ritu (fertile season/ovulation), Kshetra (healthy uterus/field), Ambu (nourishing fluid/rasa), Beeja (seed - healthy sperm and ovum), Hridaya (soul/consciousness), and Sattva (mind) - those who know this say all six are required together for a healthy son (child). (Cha. Sha. 4/6)

3. Matrija and Pitrija Bhavas (Maternal and Paternal Contributions)

Charaka Samhita - Sharira Sthana 3/13-14:
मातृजानि - त्वक्, लोहित, मांस, मेद, नाभि, हृदय, क्लोम, यकृत, प्लीहा, वृक्क, बस्ति, पक्वाशय, आमाशय, लघुत्र, स्थूलान्त्र, उदर, गुद, शेफस्...
Matrija Bhavas (from Mother): Skin, blood, muscle, fat, navel, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder, small intestine, large intestine, stomach, rectum.
Pitrija Bhavas (from Father): Hair of head and body, nails, teeth, bones, cartilage, body hair, sinews (snayu), semen.
Atmaja Bhavas (from Soul): Life, consciousness, intellect, sense organs, mind, longevity.

4. Month-wise Development of Garbha

Sushruta Samhita - Sharira Sthana 3/17-27 (Masanumasika Vriddhi):

First Month (Pratham Masa):

प्रथमे मासि कललं जायते। Prathame masi kalalam jayate.
"In the first month, Kalala (a mucoid/jelly-like mass) is formed." (Su. Sha. 3/17)
Charaka differs: "In the first month, the Atma gets mixed with all Dhatus and attains a mucoid appearance (ghana/drava - solid or liquid depending on predominant tatva)."

Second Month (Dvitiya Masa):

द्वितीये मासि पञ्चमहाभूतसंनिकर्षात् पिण्डो जायते। Dvitiye masi panchamahabhutas-sannikarshat pindo jayate.
"In the second month, by the combination of Panchamahabhutas, Pinda (a solid mass/lump) is formed." - If male: Ghana (hard), female: Pesha (soft flesh), neuter: Arbuda (round mass). (Su. Sha. 3/18)

Third Month (Tritiya Masa):

तृतीये मासि सर्वाङ्गप्रत्यङ्गानि युगपदेव स्पन्दनं लभन्ते। Tritiye masi sarvanga-pratyanganani yugapadeva spandanam labhante.
"In the third month, all major and minor limbs simultaneously begin to develop and show movement/pulsation." (Su. Sha. 3/19)

Fourth Month (Chaturtha Masa):

चतुर्थे मासे गर्भश्चेतनाढ्यतां प्रपद्यते। Chaturthe mase garbhash-chetanadhyatam prapadyate.
"In the fourth month, the fetus becomes well endowed with consciousness/sentience (cetana)." The Hridaya (heart) is fully formed. The mother is called Dauhridini (one with two hearts). (Su. Sha. 3/20)

Fifth Month (Panchama Masa):

पञ्चमे मासे मांसशोणितवृद्धिः। Panchame mase mamsa-shonita-vriddhih.
"In the fifth month, there is increased growth of Mamsa (muscle) and Shonita (blood)." (Su. Sha. 3/21)

Sixth Month (Shashtha Masa):

षष्ठे मासे बलवर्णयोर्वृद्धिः। Shashthe mase balavarnayor-vriddhih.
"In the sixth month, Bala (strength) and Varna (complexion/skin) develop further." (Su. Sha. 3/22)

Seventh Month (Saptama Masa):

सप्तमे मासे सर्वाङ्गप्रत्यङ्गोपचयः। Saptame mase sarvanga-pratyanganopacayah.
"In the seventh month, all major and minor organs become fully developed and nourished." (Su. Sha. 3/23)

Eighth Month (Ashtama Masa):

अष्टमे मासे ओजः स्थिरीभवति नैव। Ashtame mase ojah sthiribhavati naiva.
"In the eighth month, Ojas (vital essence) is not yet stable - it moves between mother and child." This is why a child born in the 8th month is considered very vulnerable (Kachcha). (Su. Sha. 3/24)

Ninth Month (Navama Masa):

नवमे मासे सम्पूर्णः सर्वगुणैः। Navame mase sampurnah sarvagunaihi.
"In the ninth month, the fetus becomes complete with all qualities." It is now ready for birth.

5. Ashtanga Hridayam - Sharira Sthana 1/44-47

Vagbhata summarizes development:
कललं बुद्बुदं पेशी घनो अङ्कुरस्तथा। पञ्चमे गर्भसंज्ञा स्यात् षष्ठे वर्धते भृशम्॥
Kalalam budbuda peshi ghana ankuras-tatha Panchame garbha-samjna syat shashthe vardhate bhrisham
Meaning: Kalala (jelly mass) - Budbuda (bubble) - Pesha (flesh) - Ghana (solid) - Ankura (limb buds) - in the fifth month it is called Garbha (proper embryo), and in the sixth month it grows rapidly.

6. Garbhopanishad Shloka (on Soul entering the fetus)

एकरात्रेण कललं भवति। सप्तरात्रेण बुद्बुदं जायते। Ekarātrena kalalaṃ bhavati. Saptarātrena budbuda jāyate.
"In one night, it becomes Kalala. In seven nights, Budbuda (bubble-like stage) is formed."

7. Cause of Sex Determination

Charaka Samhita - Sharira Sthana 4/14-15:
पितृबीजबहुलत्वे पुरुषो जायते। मातृबीजबहुलत्वे स्त्री। समे नपुंसकम्॥
Pitru-beeja-bahulatve purusho jayate Matru-beeja-bahulatve stri Same napumsakam
Meaning: If the paternal seed (Shukra) predominates - male is born. If maternal seed (Shonita) predominates - female is born. If both are equal - a neuter (napumsaka) is born. (Cha. Sha. 4/14-15)

8. Nutrition of the Fetus (Upasneha / Garbha Poshan)

Sushruta Samhita - Sharira Sthana 3/28:
यथा जलेन क्षेत्रं सिच्यते, एवं गर्भो मातृरसेन। Yatha jalena kshsetram sicyate, evam garbho matru-rasena.
"Just as a field is irrigated with water, so the fetus is nourished by the mother's Rasa (nutritive fluid)." - Nourishment occurs through the Nabhi-nadi (umbilical cord/vessel).

These shlokas form the backbone of Garbha Shareera as taught in BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery). If you need shlokas for a specific topic within Garbha Shareera - such as Panchamahabhoota contributions, Daiva-Yuktikrita bhavas, or a specific month of development - let me know and I can focus on those in more detail.
