Of how many kinds is entry as a human taught to be?" > "Gāṅgeya! It is taught to be of two kinds, namely: entry as an spontaneously generated human and entry as a womb-born human." > "Venerable Sir! When one human enters by way of human-entry, would it be among spontaneously generated humans \[or\] would it be among womb-born humans?" > "Gāṅgeya! It may be among spontaneously generated humans, or it may be among womb-born humans." > "Venerable Sir! When two humans \[enter\]—" \[the inquiry\]. > "Gāṅgeya! They may be among spontaneously generated humans, or they may be among womb-born humans; or one may be among spontaneously generated humans and one may be among womb-born humans. In this way, following this sequence, as with entry as an inhabitant of hell, so also entry as a human is to be expounded up to ten." > "Venerable Sir! When numerable humans \[enter\]—" \[the inquiry\]. > "Gāṅgeya! They may be among spontaneously generated humans, or they may be among womb-born humans; or one may be among spontaneously generated humans and numerable among womb-born humans; or two may be among spontaneously generated humans and numerable among womb-born humans. In this way, advancing one by one up to: or numerable may be among spontaneously generated humans and numerable among womb-born humans." > "Venerable Sir! When innumerable humans \[enter\]—" \[the inquiry\]. > "Gāṅgeya! All of them indeed may be among spontaneously generated humans; or innumerable among spontaneously generated humans and one among womb-born humans; or innumerable among spontaneously generated humans and two among womb-born humans; in this way up to: innumerable may be among spontaneously generated humans and numerable among womb-born humans." > "Venerable Sir!

Between this entry as a spontaneously generated human and entry as a womb-born human, which are fewer, greater, equal, or specially greater compared to which?" > "Gāṅgeya!
