These bodies originate in the modes of birth described already. Do these bodies originate without distinction? Or is there any distinction according to the mode of birth?
गर्भसम्मूर्च्छनजमाद्यम् ॥४५ ॥
[ गर्भ ] गर्भ [ सम्मूर्च्छनजम् ] और सम्मूर्च्छन जन्म से उत्पन्न होने वाला शरीर [ आद्यं ] पहला औदारिक शरीर - है।
The first kind of body is attained through the uterine birth – garbhajanma, and spontaneous generation – sammūrcchanajanma.
According to the order in the sutra, the gross (audarika) body is the first kind of body. That which is attained through uterine birth - garbhajanma, and through spontaneous generation - sammūrcchanajanma, is the gross body-audārika śarīra.
In what birth does the body mentioned next originate?
औपपादिकं वैक्रियिकम् ॥४६॥
[ औपपादिकं ] उपपादजन्म वाले अर्थात् देव और नारकियों के शरीर [ वैक्रियिकम् ] वैक्रियिक होते हैं।
The transformable (vaikriyika) body originates by birth in special beds - upapādajanma.
