釋迦譜 1.16

1.16

增一阿含經云。時天子欲情意。多者便成女人。遂行情欲共相娛樂。互相瞻視遂生欲想。共在屏處為不淨行。餘眾生見咄哉非法。云何眾生有如是事。男子見他呵責。即自悔過自身投地。其彼女人即送食與之。扶之令起。因此世間便有不善夫主之名。以送飯與夫名之為妻。其後眾生遂為婬妷。為自障蔽遂造屋舍。以此因緣世中立家。其後眾生婬妷轉增。遂夫妻共住。其餘眾生壽福行盡。從光音天來生此間。在母胎中。因此世間有處胎生。

The *Ekottarikāgama* says: "At that time, heavenly sons who had many lustful thoughts became women. Thereupon they indulged in sexual desire and took pleasure together. Looking at each other, lustful thoughts arose, and together in secluded places they engaged in impure conduct. When other beings saw this, they cried: 'Alas, how unrighteous! How can beings do such things?' When the men saw others scolding them, they repented and threw themselves to the ground. Then the women brought food and gave it to them, helping them to rise. Because of this, the worldly designation of an unwholesome 'husband and master' arose; and because they brought food to their husbands, they were named 'wives'. Afterward, beings indulged in debauchery, and in order to shield themselves, they built houses. By this cause, households were established in the world. Thereafter, beings' debauchery increased even more, and husbands and wives came to live together. Other beings whose life span and merits were exhausted descended from the Ābhāsvara Heaven to be born here, entering the mother's womb. Because of this, birth from the womb came to exist in the world."
