Visuddhimagga XVI-33

 

538. Svāyamidha gabbhaseyyakānaṃ paṭisandhito paṭṭhāya yāva mātukucchimhā nikkhamanaṃ, tāva pavattesu khandhesu.

这里的生，是指胎生者自结生（入胎）之后直至从母胎出来所进行的诸蕴而说。

Ñ(XVI,33): Here it should be regarded as the aggregates that occur from the time of rebirth-linking up to the exit from the mother's womb in the case of the womb-born,

Itaresaṃ paṭisandhikhandhesvevāti daṭṭhabbo.

至于其它的生（湿生、化生）当知是只依结生蕴说的，

Ñ: and as only the aggregates of rebirth-linking in the case of the rest.

Ayampi ca pariyāyakathāva.

这不过是一些散漫的说法。

Ñ: But this is only an indirect treatment.

Nippariyāyato pana tattha tattha nibbattamānānaṃ sattānaṃ ye ye khandhā pātubhavanti, tesaṃ tesaṃ paṭhamapātubhāvo jāti nāma.

直接地说，即生于各处的有情的诸蕴最初的呈现名为生。

Ñ: In the direct sense, however, it is the first manifestation of any aggregates that are manifested in living beings when they are born anywhere that is called 'birth'.
