[264] **Four kinds of descent into the womb (gabbhāvakkanti):**
1. Here, friends, someone descends into the mother's womb not clearly comprehending (asampajāno), remains in the mother's womb not clearly comprehending, and emerges from the mother's womb not clearly comprehending. This is the first descent into the womb.
2. Again, friends, someone descends into the mother's womb clearly comprehending, but remains in the mother's womb not clearly comprehending, and emerges from the mother's womb not clearly comprehending. This is the second descent into the womb.
3. Again, friends, someone descends into the mother's womb clearly comprehending, remains in the mother's womb clearly comprehending, but emerges from the mother's womb not clearly comprehending. This is the third descent into the womb.
4. Again, friends, someone descends into the mother's womb clearly comprehending, remains in the mother's womb clearly comprehending, and emerges from the mother's womb clearly comprehending. This is the fourth descent into the womb.
