第五中陰有者。若欝單越人臨命終時。見上行相。若大業心自在生天。以手攬空如夢中所見。好華上妙之香。第一妙色香氣在手。見華生貪。今見此樹我當升之。作是念已即上大樹。乃是升於須彌。見天世界華果莊嚴。我當游行。是名欝單越人下品受生第五中陰有也。

'As for the fifth intermediate existence: when a person of Uttarakuru is approaching the end of life, they see signs of upward movement. If by the power of great karma their mind is self-mastered to be born in heaven, they grasp at empty space with their hands, just as seen in a dream: fine flowers and exquisite fragrances, supreme colours, with fragrance in hand. Seeing the flowers, desire arises: "Now that I see this tree, I shall climb it." Having thought this, they immediately climb the great tree, which is actually climbing Mount Sumeru. Seeing the heavenly world adorned with flowers and fruits, [they think:] "I shall wander there." This is called the fifth intermediate existence of an inferior rebirth for a person of Uttarakuru.'
