'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.'
