That is: terrestrial rākṣasas and Hārītī are both womb-born. Thus a ghost mother said to Maudgalyāyana: "In the daytime and nighttime portions, I give birth to five hundred sons each; as soon as they are born, I eat them myself, and though I finish them, I am not sated." Therefore we know there are womb-born ghosts. The rest are all transformationally born. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4.22) - [Next: 4.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4.24) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.4.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4.23) · Pramāṇa
