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.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 69.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.18) - [Next: 69.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.20) - [Up: 69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.69.19) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.12.85) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.19) · Pramāṇa
