頻伽,好聲鳥也,瓶形似彼。識陰無形,在有情身,如瓶盛空。遠餉他國者,阿賴耶識為業所使,隨處受生。此陰若滅,彼陰續生,如人擎空遠餉千里。死有至時,諸根不通,如塞兩孔。

The kalaviṅka is a bird with a lovely sound; the pitcher's shape resembles it. The aggregate of consciousness is formless; being inside a sentient being's body is like a pitcher containing space. Traveling afar to present it as a gift to another country: the ālayavijñāna is driven by karma, receiving rebirth in various places. When this aggregate perishes, that aggregate is born in succession, like a person carrying space afar for a thousand miles. When death-existence (maraṇa-bhava) arrives, the sense faculties no longer function, like plugging the two apertures.
