After a long time of eating much of them, they mocked each other's physical forms. When the two-branched grapes ceased to grow, non-husked rice grew instead, without chaff or husk, prepared without seasoning yet endowed with all fine flavors. When sentient beings ate it, they developed male and female forms. Further, the \*Ekottarika-āgama\* says: At that time, those among the devaputras who had much sensual desire became women, hence there came to be the name 'husband and wife.' Thereafter, sentient beings' lustful desires increased in turn, and husbands and wives came to live together. The remaining sentient beings, having exhausted their lifespan, merits, and deeds, later came from the Ābhāsvara Heaven to be born here within a mother's womb. Because of this, the world came to have birth from the womb. At that time, the great city of Campā and ultimately all cities and towns were built. The natural non-husked rice was harvested in the morning and ripened in the evening, harvested in the evening and ripened in the morning, immediately growing back after being harvested. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.1.36) - [Next: 1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.1.38) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.1.37) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋迦譜](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.15) — 僧祐, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.1.37) · Pramāṇa
