Vibhāṣā 70 says: 'Such an intermediate existence stays for a short time and must go to link birth, because it swiftly seeks birth. Venerable Śamathadatta says: The intermediate existence dwells at most for seven times seven days, because within forty-nine days it definitely links birth. Venerable Vasumitra says: The intermediate existence dwells at most for seven days, because that body is frail and cannot dwell long. Question: If within seven days the conditions for birth are assembled, it can link birth; if so, when the conditions for birth are not yet assembled during that time, could it be interrupted and destroyed? Answer: It is not interrupted or destroyed; that is, during the state when the conditions for birth are not yet assembled, that intermediate existence repeatedly dies and is born without interruption or destruction. The Bhadanta says: There is no fixed limit to this; that is, for one whose conditions for birth swiftly assemble, this intermediate body dwells for a short time; if its conditions for birth have not assembled for a long time, this intermediate body dwells for a long time, until the conditions assemble and only then can it link birth; therefore, the intermediate body's dwelling has no fixed limit.' The Nyāyānusāra says: 'For all intermediate existences, solely excluding those who attain nirvāṇa in the intermediate state, there are none among the remaining intermediate existences that do not reach the birth-existence before passing away.' This treatise and the Nyāyānusāra agree with the Bhadanta. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.9.29) - [Next: 9.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.9.31) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.9.30) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [阿毘達磨大毘婆沙論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.sarvastivada.jnanaprasthana!mahavibhasa*zh-xuanzang.70.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.9.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.9.30) · Pramāṇa
