hi PLWK

the Vissuddhimagga is now on-line, in PDF version

Acharya Buddhaghosa regarded the meaning of "birth" in this context to mean "becoming". "becoming" is an asava or mental outflow/construct

a search for 'jati' in the PDF, will find Acharya Buddhaghosa's explanation of the various meanings of 'jati'
Though wasn't it Buddhaghosa who came up with the infamous "three lives" model of paticcasamuppāda?
