第八中陰有者。若欝單越人臨命終時。則有相現。見於園林游戲之處。香潔可愛。聞之悅樂。不多苦惱。其心不濁。以清淨心即升宮殿。見諸天眾游空而行。猶如夢中。三十三天勝妙可愛。一切五欲皆悉具足。從欝單越死生此天中。是名欝單越人生此天處熏習游戲乃死時相第八中陰有也。

'As for the eighth intermediate existence: when a person of Uttarakuru is approaching the end of life, signs appear. They see parks, groves, and places of recreation, fragrant, pure, and delightful; smelling them brings joy and pleasure, without much suffering or distress, and their mind is not turbid. With a pure mind they immediately ascend to a palace, seeing hosts of devas wandering through empty space, as if in a dream. The Trāyastriṃśa Heaven is supreme and delightful, fully endowed with all five desires. Dying from Uttarakuru, they are born among these devas. This is called the eighth intermediate existence of the signs at death of a person of Uttarakuru being born in this heavenly realm through habituated recreation.'
