9.48

On the Śāstra's 'Moreover, the intermediate existence of gods... enjoying tranquility and practicing austerities': this clarifies the manner of movement of the intermediate existences of the destinations. Vibhāṣā 70 says: 'For now it is explained based on those dying among humans. If one dies in hell and is reborn again in hell, one does not necessarily travel head downwards and feet upwards. If one dies among gods and is born among humans, one's head should go downward. For intermediate existences of the two destinations of hungry ghosts and animals, it should be known accordingly depending on the place they go.' This is the correct doctrine.
