【The Origin of Suffering 希求解脱】those to be reborn from heat and moisture, crave smell; those to be reborn spontaneously, desire a place 湿生欲香，化生求舍，而受生
【The Origin of Suffering】-
【The Treasury of Knowledge says:You desire smells, places, or other things. In his commentary on this Vasubandhu explains that if the being of the intermediate state is to be reborn from heat and moisture, it craves smells, while if it is to be reborn spontaneously, it desires a place and is subsequently reborn there.】
This explains how those who will be reborn from womb, egg, moisture, and spontaneous ways will take birth. The Treasury of Knowledge explains this principle. For those to be reborn from heat and moisture, they crave smells. They want to smell. For those to be reborn spontaneously, similarly, they desire place. So when they find where they want to live, they will go there. For instance, for beings in hell, as explained earlier, it is not that they desire to go to hell but that their situation is reversed by their bad karma! For example, for the beings in hot hells, how did they get there? For the beings in cold hells, how did they get there? They felt cold and were looking for warmth. Ah, that place seems to be very warm, so they go there. As soon as they get there, it turns out to be the hot hell. And for those who are going to the cold hells, the situation is exactly the opposite. It is supposed to be a place of their desire, (but) it is under these circumstances they end up at where they are.

希求解脱 : 湿生欲香，化生求舍，而受生
【《俱舍论》云：“余求香宅舍。”谓湿生欲香，化生求舍，而受生也。】
上面胎、卵、湿、化四样当中，每一个地方的生法，那个《俱舍论》上面就告诉我们这个道理。湿生他所求的呢？求到要香、闻香，化生呢？要求住的地方，那个同样的要求那个，然后呢它找到所住的地方也是要去了。譬如说到地狱的众生，前面已经说过了，他不是要求到地狱去，那是他妄业的颠倒。譬如说：到这个热地狱的众生，他是怎么去的呢？到寒地狱的众生，他是怎么去的呢？那时候他觉得冷，他就要找热，那个地方就很暖和，他就去，一去那个地方原来就是热地狱；寒冰地狱，却却相反，就是要求去的地方就是这种状态而去的。
