如善見論云。女人將欲受胎。月華水出時者。此是血名。欲懷胎時。於兒胞處生一血聚。七日自破。從此而出。若血出不斷者。男精不住。即共流出。若盡出者。以男精還復其處。然後成胎。故血盡已。男精得住。即便有胎。又女人有七事受胎。一相觸。二取衣。三下精。四手摩。五見色。六聞聲。七嗅香。問何謂相觸受胎。答有女人月水生時喜樂男子。若男子以身觸其身分。即生貪著而便懷胎。問何謂取衣受胎。答如優陀夷共婦出家。欲愛不止。各相發問。欲精污衣。尼取舐之。復取內根。即便懷胎。問何謂下精受胎。答如鹿母喫道士精。欲心而飲。遂便懷胎。生鹿子道士。問何謂手摩受胎。答如睒子菩薩父母俱盲。帝釋逆知。下來其所為夫婦。既悉出家為道。不合陰陽。以手摩臍下。即便懷胎而生睒子。問何謂見色受胎。答有一女人。月華水成。不得男子合。欲情極盛。唯視男子。如宮女人。亦復如是。即便懷胎。問何謂聞聲受胎。答如白鷺鳥。悉雌無雄。到春節時。陽氣始布。雷鳴初發。雌鷺一心聞聲。便即懷胎。雞亦有聞雄雞聲亦得懷胎。問何謂嗅香受胎。答如𤚩牛母。但嗅犢氣而亦懷子。

As the Samantapāsādikā states: When a woman is about to conceive, at the time the 'monthly flower-water' issues forth—this is the name for blood. When she is about to become pregnant, a mass of blood forms at the womb, which naturally breaks open after seven days and issues from there. If the flow of blood does not cease, the male semen does not remain, but flows out along with it. If it has finished discharging, the male semen returns to its place, and thereafter a fetus is formed. Therefore, when the blood is exhausted, the male semen is able to remain, and then conception occurs. Furthermore, there are seven ways a woman conceives: first, through physical touch; second, through taking clothes; third, through emitting semen; fourth, through stroking with the hand; fifth, through seeing forms; sixth, through hearing sounds; seventh, through smelling scents. Question: What is meant by conceiving through physical touch? Answer: There was a woman who, when her menses arose, took delight in a man; if a man touched parts of her body with his body, she gave rise to craving and thereupon conceived. Question: What is meant by conceiving through taking clothes? Answer: Like Udāyin who went forth into the religious life together with his wife; their lustful craving did not cease, and they questioned each other; lustful semen soiled his clothes, and the nun took it and licked it, and further inserted it into her organ, whereupon she conceived. Question: What is meant by conceiving through emitting semen? Answer: Like the mother of Mṛgāra who ate an ascetic's semen; drinking it with lustful intent, she thereupon conceived and gave birth to the ascetic Mṛgāraputra. Question: What is meant by conceiving through stroking with the hand? Answer: Like the parents of the Bodhisattva Śyāma, who were both blind; Śakra knew beforehand, descended to their place, and made them husband and wife; having both gone forth to practice the Way, they did not engage in sexual union, but stroking below the navel with the hand, she conceived and gave birth to Śyāma. Question: What is meant by conceiving through seeing forms? Answer: There was a woman whose monthly flower-water had formed, but who could not unite with a man; her lustful passions were extremely intense, and she merely gazed at a man—as is also the case with women in the palace—and thereupon conceived. Question: What is meant by conceiving through hearing sounds? Answer: Like egrets, which are all female without males; when the spring season arrives, yang qi begins to spread and thunder first rumbles, the female egret single-mindedly hears the sound and thereupon conceives. Hens also, upon hearing the sound of a rooster, can conceive. Question: What is meant by conceiving through smelling scents? Answer: Like cows that only smell the scent of a calf and thereby also conceive a young.
