「人胎生者至唯劫初人」者,此明人胎、濕、化生。曼馱多是王名,唐云我養。從布殺陀王頂皰而生,顏貌端正。王抱入宮,告誰能養。諸宮各言我養也。故以標名。舊云頂生王,此義翻也,然非正目。此王長大為金輪王。遮盧,唐言髀。鄔波遮盧,唐言小髀。於我養王兩髀上各生一皰,皰生一子,顏貌端正。從所生處為名,以小標別,亦為輪王。鴿鬘者,昔有一王名跋羅哈摩達多,唐言靜授。於王腋下有皰,生一女子,名為鴿鬘。從腋下出,如鴿出飛,王重如鬘,故以名焉。或生已後鴿恒隨逐,王重如鬘,故以名焉。菴羅衛者,有菴羅衛女,從菴羅衛樹濕氣而生,或從子生、或從枝生。餘文可知。《正理》云「此四生人皆可得聖。得聖無受卵濕二生,以聖皆欣殊勝智見,卵、濕生類性多愚癡。或諸卵生,生皆開再,故飛禽等世號再生;聖怖多生,故無受義。濕生多分眾聚同生,聖怖雜居,故亦不受。」
Regarding "Those humans who are womb-born [...] only the humans at the beginning of the kalpa": this clarifies humans who are womb-born, moisture-born, and apparitional. "Māndhātṛ" is a king's name, in Chinese meaning "I will nurse." He was born from a blister on King Poṣadha's head, possessing an upright countenance. The king carried him into the palace and asked who could nurse him. The women of the palace each said, "I will nurse him." Hence he was named after this. Formerly translated as "King Born from the Crown of the Head" (Ding-sheng Wang), this was a translation by meaning, but not the primary designation. When this king grew up, he became a golden-wheel-turning monarch. "Cāru" in Chinese means "thigh." "Upacāru" in Chinese means "little thigh." On both thighs of King Māndhātṛ, a blister arose on each, and each blister produced a son of upright countenance. They were named after their places of birth, differentiated by "little," and also became wheel-turning monarchs. As for Kapotamālā: formerly there was a king named Brahmadatta, in Chinese meaning "Quietly Given." Under the king's armpit there was a blister that gave birth to a girl named Kapotamālā. She came out from under the armpit like a dove flying forth, and the king cherished her like a garland (mālā); hence she was named after this. Alternatively, after she was born, doves constantly followed her, and the king cherished her like a garland; hence she was named after this. As for Āmrapālī: there was the maiden Āmrapālī, who was born from the moisture of a mango (āmra) tree, or born from its fruit, or born from its branch. The rest of the text can be known. The Nyāyānusāra states: "Humans of these four births can all attain noble fruition. Those who have attained nobility never undergo egg-birth or moisture-birth, because noble ones all aspire to superior knowledge and vision, whereas the classes of egg-born and moisture-born beings are mostly foolish by nature. Moreover, all egg-born beings are born through a second opening, so that flying birds and the like are called in the world 'twice-born' (dvija); noble ones dread repeated births, so they do not undergo them. Moisture-born beings mostly arise together in large swarms; noble ones dread dwelling in confusion, so they also do not undergo them."
