第十四中陰有者。若人中死還生人中則有相現。於臨終時見如是相。見大石山。猶如影相在其身上。爾時其人作如是念。此山或當墮我身上。是故動手欲遮此山。親里見之謂為觸於虛空。既見此已又見此山。猶如白㲲。即升此㲲乃見赤㲲。次第臨終復見光明。見其父母愛欲和合而起顛倒。若男子生。自見其身與母交會。謂父妨礙。若女人生。自見其身與父交會。謂母妨礙。當於爾時。中陰即壞。生陰次起。如印所印。印壞文成。是名人中命終還生人中第十四中陰有也。

Regarding the fourteenth intermediate existence: When one dies among humans and is to be reborn again among humans, signs appear. When approaching death, they see such signs: they see a great stone mountain looming over their body like a shadow. At that time, the person thinks: 'This mountain may fall upon my body.' Therefore, they move their hands wishing to ward off this mountain. Relatives, seeing this, think they are grasping at empty space. Having seen this, they further see this mountain appear like white cotton. Reaching onto this cotton, they then see red cotton. Gradually approaching death, they again see light; they see their parents united in sexual desire and give rise to inverted thoughts. If to be born as a male, he sees himself coupling with the mother and considers the father an obstacle; if to be born as a female, she sees herself coupling with the father and considers the mother an obstacle. At that very moment, the intermediate existence is destroyed and the rebirth-existence immediately arises, just as when a seal makes an imprint: the seal is broken and the inscription is formed. This is called the fourteenth intermediate existence of dying among humans and returning to birth among humans.
