It means taking birth in the desire realm is a realm of suffering, still requiring external reliance to support and sustain the retribution body. However, precisely by using this as a condition of pressing affliction, coming here and contemplating the desire realm serves as the cause of awakening; therefore, the desire realm has an intermediate state. The higher realm is a realm of dhyāna; it does not depend on external support, nor does it have great suffering, so it does not have intermediate nirvāṇa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 68.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.68.23) - [Next: 68.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.68.25) - [Up: 68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.68) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.68.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.68.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.68.24) · Pramāṇa
