[2145 § 348
348. In the births described with these characteristics, are all bodies born in the same way, or is there any difference? To answer this, the next Sutra says:
The first body is born from the womb and from unconsciousness. ||45||
§ 349: According to the order of the Sutras, the word *ādy* refers to the *audārika* body. Whatever is born from the womb and from unconsciousness, all that should be considered *audārika*.
8350. After this, the next Sutra tells us from which birth the body described next is born:
The *aupapādika* body is born from *upapāda*. ||46||
8351. What is born in *upapāda* is called *aupapādika*. All such bodies should be known as *vaikriyika*.
8352. If the *aupapādika* body is *vaikriyika*, then the body that is not *aupapādika* cannot be *vaikriyika*. To clarify this, the next Sutra says:
It is also born from *labdhi*. ||47||
8353. The word *ca* in the Sutra connects with the *vaikriyika* body. *Labdhi* is the attainment of *ṛddhi* through special austerities. The *labdhi* that is the cause of this is called *labdhi-pratyaya*. The *vaikriyika* body is also *labdhi-pratyaya*. This is the connection to be made here.
8354. Is this the only body that is born from *labdhi*, or is there another one? To answer this, the next Sutra says:
The *tejas* body is also born from *labdhi*. ||48||
