there is another, here:

Ok thanks element

I didn't know the sutta.

instead of descent 'into' a womb, probably descent 'from' a womb. 'okkanti' also means 'to enter' (used in sutta about stream-entry). so it sounds like: "taking the six elements out of the womb, body-&-mind enter [into the world]

Wouldn't develop be a better translation. Six sense bases surely develop in the womb.
