第六中陰有者。若欝單越人。以中業故。臨命終時。欲生天上。則有相現。見蓮華池甚可愛樂。眾蜂莊嚴一切皆香。升此蓮華須臾乘空而飛。猶如夢中。生於天上。作如是念。我今當至勝蓮華池。是名欝單越人中品受生第六中陰有也。

'As for the sixth intermediate existence: if a person of Uttarakuru, due to middling karma, wishes to be born in the heavens when approaching the end of life, then signs appear. They see a lotus pond that is exceedingly delightful, adorned with swarms of bees, all fragrant. Climbing onto this lotus, in an instant they fly through empty space as if in a dream, to be born in the heavens, thinking: "I shall now go to the supreme lotus pond." This is called the sixth intermediate existence of a middling rebirth for a person of Uttarakuru.'
