You are confused by the sūtra text. When the sūtra says "without interval one is born", it refers to being born into intermediate existence. Because intermediate existence is the preliminary to birth, it is called "birth". It takes its name from birth, but this is not its specific nature. If speaking of its intrinsic nature, it should be called "arising", as explained at length above. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.208](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.208) - [Next: 8.210](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.210) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.8.209) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.209](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.8.209) · Pramāṇa
