39. Here the Sanskrit reads bhava­pratyayā jātiḥ | jātiḥ katamā yā teṣāṁ teṣāṁ sattvānāṁ tasmiṁs tasmin sattva­nikāye jātiḥ saṁjātiḥ upapattiḥ avakrāntiḥ abhi­nirvṛttiḥ prādur­bhāvaḥ skandha­pratilambhaḥ dhātu­pratilambhaḥ āyatanānāṁ pratilambhaḥ skandhānām abhinirvṛttiḥ jīvitendriyasyodbhavaḥ nikāya­sabhā­gatāyāḥ samavadhānam (Samtani 1971, pp. 12–13). This could be translated as “ ‘As for birth with existence as its condition,’ what is birth? It is the birth of such and such sentient beings in such and such specific classes of sentient beings; it is their thorough birth, descent, coming forth, and manifestation, the obtainment of the aggregates, the obtainment of the bases, the obtainment of the entrances, the proceeding of the aggregates, the coming into being of the life faculty, and the fact of being brought together within the commonality of a specific class. This is explained as birth.”
