Answer: It also sees the body of fundamental existence. The Yogācārabhūmi says: it is said that it sees only the male, or sees only the female; gradually approaching their location, it gradually ceases to see the other parts of the parents, seeing only the male and female organs. Furthermore, if it is an intermediate existence of meager merit destined to be born into a base and impoverished family, at the time of death and upon entering the womb it will hear various chaotic and disagreeable sounds; if it is an intermediate existence of meritorious rank destined to be born into a wealthy and noble family, at that time it naturally hears exquisite and agreeable sounds, and even the objects of scent, taste, and touch have grades.
