Thanks so much, Elliot. This is very useful, all the more so since the author of the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha knew most or even all the texts you cite.

Dear all,
This announcement reminds me of an expression in the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha that I have difficulty understanding. 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?
