仁王經疏 1.234

1.234

今解不爾。菩薩化生，文別有四：一總標能化所化、二「不觀色」下別釋能所化空、三「是故一切」下結成空義、四「是為菩薩」下結成護體。此即初也。言四生者，如《瑜伽》第二卷云「云何卵生？謂諸有情破㲉而生，如鵝雁等。云何胎生？謂諸有情胎所纏裹剖胎而生，如象馬等。云何濕生？謂諸有情隨因一種濕氣而生，如蛾蝎等。云何化生？謂諸有情業增上故，具足六處而生、或復不具，如天、那落迦全，及人、鬼、傍生一分。」

Our present interpretation is not like this. 'Bodhisattvas transforming beings' has four divisions in the text: 1. a general indication of the transformer and the transformed; 2. from '[does] not contemplate form' below, specifically explaining the emptiness of the transformer and the transformed; 3. from 'therefore all' below, concluding the meaning of emptiness; 4. from 'this is the bodhisattva' below, concluding the essence of protection. This is the first. Regarding the four kinds of birth, as the second fascicle of the *Yogācārabhūmi* says: 'What is egg-born? It refers to sentient beings who are born by breaking the eggshell, like geese, wild ducks, and the like. What is womb-born? It refers to sentient beings wrapped in a womb and born through the rupture of the womb, like elephants, horses, and the like. What is moisture-born? It refers to sentient beings who are born depending on a causal condition of moisture, like moths, scorpions, and the like. What is spontaneously born? It refers to sentient beings who, through the predominance of karma, are born with their six sense bases complete or incomplete, like devas and beings in the naraka-hells entirely, and a portion of humans, pretas, and animals.'
