（五法）其次就（色的）一生、二生、三生、四生、无处生等的区别为五种。

Ñ(XIV,79): Again, it is of five kinds as born of one, born of two, born of three, born of four, and not born of anything.

Tattha kammajameva cittajameva ca ekajaṃ nāma.

此中：只从业生的及只从心生的，名为从「一生」；

Ñ: Herein, what is kamma-born only or consciousness-born only is called born of one.

Tesu saddhiṃ hadayavatthunā indriyarūpaṃ kammajameva.

这里以根色及心所依处是只从业生的，

Ñ: Of these, materiality of the faculties, together with the heart-basis, is kamma-born only;

Viññattidvayaṃ cittajameva.

以（身、语）二表是只从心生的。

Ñ: the two intimations are consciousness-born only.

Yaṃ pana cittato ca ututo ca jātaṃ, taṃ dvijaṃ nāma, taṃ saddāyatanameva.

其次从心及时节而生的名为从「二生」；只有声处是。

Ñ: But what is born [now] of consciousness and [now] of temperature is called born of two. That is the sound base only.

Yaṃ utucittāhārehi jātaṃ, taṃ tijaṃ nāma, taṃ pana lahutādittayameva.

其次从时节、心、食的三法所生的名为从「三生」；[PTS 452] 只有轻快性（柔软性、适业性）等三种。

Ñ: What is born of temperature, consciousness, and nutriment [452] is called born of three. But that is the three beginning with 'lightness' only.

Yaṃ catūhipi kammādīhi jātaṃ, taṃ catujaṃ nāma, taṃ lakkhaṇarūpavajjaṃ avasesaṃ hoti.

其次从业（时节、心、食）等四法所生的名为从「四生」；这除了相色（四种）之外其它的都是。

Ñ: What is born from the four beginning with kamma is called born of four. That is all the rest except 'matter as characteristic'.
