While I cannot directly answer your question, Johannes, I can suggest you consider these other texts to understand the example:

On p. 418 of Abhyankar's edition (line 16.298) it mentions "showing a cloth with the imprint of the son's foot" (putrapadāṅkitapaṭapradarśanavat) in the context of announcing the birth of a son. Does this refer to a known custom in India?
