第十中陰有者。若弗婆提人臨命終時。見於死相。見於自業。或見他業。或見殿堂殊勝莊嚴。心生歡喜。欲近受生。於殿堂外見眾婇女。與諸丈夫歌頌娛樂。於中陰有作如是念。欲得同戲。即入戲眾。猶如睡覺。即生天上。是名第十中陰有也。

Regarding the tenth intermediate existence: When a person of Pūrvavideha approaches the end of life, they see the signs of death; they see their own karma, or they see the karma of others; or they see palace halls exquisitely adorned, and joy arises in their mind. Wishing to approach and take rebirth, they see outside the palace halls numerous maidservants singing, chanting, and making merry together with men. In the intermediate existence, they form this thought: 'I wish to join in their play.' They immediately enter the throng of revellers, and as if awakening from sleep, they are instantly reborn in heaven. This is called the tenth intermediate existence.
