"Venerable Sir, when a jīva enters the womb, does it enter possessing sense organs, or lacking sense organs?"
"Gautama, sometimes it enters possessing sense organs; sometimes it enters lacking sense organs."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said thus: 'Sometimes it enters possessing sense organs; sometimes it enters lacking sense organs'?"
"Gautama, in reference to physical sense organs, it enters lacking sense organs; in reference to psychical sense organs, it enters possessing sense organs. For that reason, Gautama, it is said thus: 'Sometimes it enters possessing sense organs; sometimes it enters lacking sense organs.'
"Venerable Sir, when a jīva enters the womb, does it enter with a body, or without a body?"
"Gautama, sometimes it enters with a body; sometimes it enters without a body."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said thus: 'Sometimes it enters with a body; sometimes it enters without a body'?"
"Gautama, in reference to gross, transformational, and translocational [bodies], it enters without a body; in reference to fiery and karmic [bodies], it enters with a body. For that reason, Gautama, it is said thus: 'Sometimes it enters with a body; sometimes it enters without a body.'
"Venerable Sir, when a jīva enters the womb, what nourishment does it take at first?"
"Gautama, it takes as nourishment at first the mother's ovum and the father's semen, combined together."
