Coagulation means birth without being foetus in the womb. In such birth, the body is made of food accepted from nature. Among those born of coagulation are those who are born out of fluid, born out of sweat, and born by sprouting from the earth.
Creatures born of womb: Creatures born in placenta (viviparous). They include the creatures born out of egg (oviparous), born out of foetus, and born out of foetus with amnion.
Spontaneous: Those born with a protean body. The beings that have protean body are called spontaneously born. They are the denizens of heaven and hell. 1.119 esa samsāretti pavuccati. 1.120 mamdassa aviyāṇao.
(119,120) The world of mobile beings is known as the world of
motion even to the dullard and the ignorant person. Bhāsyam Sūtras 119,120
It is only the mobile beings that can move and therefore the world comprising them is called the world of motion, samsāra.
The dullard and the ignorant are well acquainted with this samsāra as they have no doubt about it. But they are quite ignorant of the subtle world of one-sensed beings as a part of samsāra. They do not know about the pleasure and pain in the world of immobile beings which is too subtle to be believed by them. 1.121 nijjhāittā padilehittā patteyam pariņivvāņam. 1.22 savvesim pāņānam savvesim bhūyāņam savvesim jīvānam
savvesim sattāņam assāyam apariņivvānam mahabbhayam dukkham ti bemi. (121,122) Deeply reflecting and observing that happiness is dear to all, (and so) to all mobile beings, immobile beings, souls and living substances, unhappiness is unpleasant, dreadful and painful. Thus I say.
