Engendered
Jana Sutta  (SN 1:55)

“What engenders a person?
What does one have that runs around?
What rushes toward the wandering-on?
What does one have as one’s great danger?"

The Buddha:

“Craving engenders a person.
One’s mind is what runs around.
A being rushes toward the wandering-on.
Suffering is one’s great danger.”
