瑜伽師地論略纂 11.110

11.110

論解五相中第三、無常相云「諸有有情若生若長」者，此二得別？義曰：生謂化生，頓增大故；長謂餘三生，漸增長故。

In the treatise's explanation of the five aspects, regarding the third, the aspect of impermanence, where it says, "all sentient beings, whether born or growing," how are these two distinguished? The interpretation is: "born" refers to apparitional birth, because it increases and becomes large suddenly; "growing" refers to the remaining three forms of birth, because they gradually grow and develop.
