瑜伽師地論略纂 4.96

4.96

In the link of birth, it first explains the ten phrases separately, and later summarizes the meaning in conclusion. The first four phrases speak of the two modes of birth, womb-born and egg-born; the next single phrase speaks of the two modes of birth, moisture-born and spontaneously born. Regarding "the limbs and parts arising suddenly": it means the limbs and parts are born suddenly. In spontaneous birth, the sense faculties are born suddenly, meaning the hands, feet, and so forth, and the limbs and parts are likewise so; moisture birth is not like this, meaning the faculties are born gradually, while the limbs and parts arise suddenly. This does not contradict the statement in the preceding fascicle that in womb, egg, and moisture births the sense faculties arise gradually. The lower five phrases apply to all four modes of birth. "Attainment of aggregates" means the arising of the essence of the aggregates. "Attainment of realms" means the seeds of the aggregates, the nature of the aggregates as causal conditions. "Attainment of aggregates" is accomplishment as actual state; "attainment of realms" is accomplishment as seed; "attainment of bases" applies to both actual state and seed; the remaining three conditions are accomplished.
