俱舍論疏 8.147

8.147

論「人濕生者至菴羅衛等」，「曼馱多」者，此云我養，布殺陀王頂皰而生，顏貌端正。王抱入宮告誰能養，諸宮各言我能養也，故以標名。舊云頂生王者，此從生處立名，非本號也。此王長大為金輪王，能破修羅，欲侵天帝釋位。「遮盧」者，此云脾。鄔波遮盧，此云小脾。於我養王兩髀之上各生一皰，皰生一子，從所生處故以為名，以小標別。亦為輪王。言「鴿鬘」者，昔有一王此名靜授，於王腋下有胞，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，因以立名。「菴羅衛」者，是樹名也。有一女子從此樹生。菴羅衛者，或從子生、或從花枝生也。《正理論》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（今詳人卵、濕生不多愚癡，作金輪王及能得聖。此從多分）。或諸卵生，生皆再度，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（卵生可爾。其濕生人即不眾聚，此從多分也）。」

The Śāstra says: "Among humans, the moisture-born [...] Āmrapālī, and so forth." "Māndhātṛ" is translated here as 'I Nurture'. He was born from a blister on the crown of King Uposadha's head, with a handsome countenance. The king carried him into the palace and asked who could nurture him; all the palace ladies each said, 'I can nurture him,' hence he was designated by this name. The older translation calling him 'Top-Born King' derived the name from his place of birth, not his original title. When this king grew up, he became a gold wheel-turning king, capable of defeating the asuras, and wished to encroach upon the seat of Śakra, Lord of the Devas. "Cāru" is translated here as 'Thigh'. Upacāru is translated here as 'Little Thigh'. On the two thighs of King 'I Nurture', a blister grew on each, and each blister gave birth to a son; they were named according to their place of birth, with 'Little' added to distinguish them. They also became wheel-turning kings. As for "Kapotamālā", formerly there was a king translated here as Śāntadatta. Under the king's armpit there was a vesicle, which gave birth to a daughter named Kapotamālā. Emerging from the armpit like a dove taking flight, the king cherished her like a garland (mālā), hence she was named thus. Alternatively, after she was born, doves constantly followed her, and the king cherished her like a garland, hence she was named accordingly. "Āmrapālī" is the name of a tree. A woman was born from this tree. Āmrapālī was born either from its fruit or from a flowering branch. The Nyāyānusāra says: "Humans of these four births can all attain noble status; upon attaining noble status, none receives the egg or moisture births, because noble ones all aspire to superior wisdom and insight, whereas classes of egg-born and moisture-born are mostly foolish by nature (now, examining carefully, humans of egg and moisture births are not mostly foolish, becoming gold wheel-turning kings and capable of attaining noble status; this is said according to the majority). Or, all the egg-born undergo birth twice, hence flying birds and the like are termed in the world 'twice-born' (dvija); since noble ones fear multiple births, they do not receive them. The moisture-born for the most part are born together in swarms; since noble ones fear living in mixed swarms, they also do not receive it (for the egg-born this may be so; yet moisture-born humans do not gather in swarms, so this is said according to the majority)."
