1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, phoenixes reproduce in these four ways. What four? Phoenixes are born from eggs, from a womb, from moisture, or spontaneously. These are the four ways that phoenixes reproduce.”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

"Catasso imā, bhikkhave, supaṇṇayoniyo. Katamā catasso? Aṇḍajā supaṇṇā, jalābujā supaṇṇā, saṁsedajā supaṇṇā, opapātikā supaṇṇā – imā kho, bhikkhave, catasso supaṇṇayoniyo"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
