抄録	The oral tradition of medieval minstrels is still alive in Bengal (Bangladesh, West Bengal of India) today. Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal (On Bauls, cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baul). They constitute a syncretic religious sect influenced by various thoughts like Buddhism, Vaishnavism, Tantra, Sufism etc. According to Bauls' thought, the human body is a microcosm in which God resides. They do not recognize the authority of holy scripts, but worship innate divinity only. They perform a particular type of folk song (Baul Song) in which they express their religious thought. Since Indian national poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) evaluated Bauls' oral literature, Bauls are considered to represent the essence of Bengali culture.
	Baul songs deal with Bauls' thought of the human body. The secret of the macrocosm is said to be contained in the human body. Bauls call it "Dehatattva" i.e. "body truth". They investigate this cosmic secret in their own body through Tantric practices including sexual intercourse. Dehatattva and its investigation are symbolically described in Baul songs.
	One of the topics belonging to Dehatattva is embryology, i.e. embryonic development in the uterus up to birth. In this paper, I analyzed two Baul songs recorded around 1980, which deal with this topic.
	As the result of my study, it is elucidated that these songs from modern Bengal are textually parallel to the embryological statements found in ancient Indian literature written in Sanskrit.
	In ancient India, embryology was an important constituent of the thought of ascetics, as human birth symbolizes the reincarnation. Ascetic meditated on the process of fertilization, during which the soul of the dead enters into the mother's uterus and a new life begins.
	The fact that Baul songs are parallel to the old ascetic literature indicates that Bauls are the descendants of these ancient ascetics.
