4.59

As for the five births: first, birth that relieves suffering; second, birth conforming to kind; third, superior birth; fourth, sovereign birth; fifth, final birth. Such five births are all enacted by bodhisattvas; this meaning belongs to the Triyāna. If according to the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, bodhisattvas dwelling in the Tuṣita heaven down to descending to be born and become buddhas all take birth with ten intentions. If one takes the bodies of the five births based on the ten intentions, it is the Ekayāna; this meaning is as explained in the "Chapter on Leaving the World." The remaining points are as in the separate chapter.
