At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, dragons reproduce in these four ways.

What four?

Dragons are born from an egg, from a womb, from moisture, or spontaneously.

Of these, dragons born from a womb, from moisture, or spontaneously are better than those born from an egg.

Dragons born from moisture or spontaneously are better than those born from an egg or from a womb.

Dragons born spontaneously are better than those born from an egg, from a womb, or from moisture. [1]

These are the four ways that dragons reproduce.”
