次依婆沙論。問中有諸根具不具者。答一切中有皆具諸根。初受異熟必圓妙故。有說不具者。如印印物像現。如是中有趣本有故。如本有時。有根不具。此中初說於理為善。謂中有位。於六處門遍求生處。根必無缺。此說眼等非男女根。色界中有無彼根故。欲界中有。彼亦不定。當受卵胎二類生者。住中有位。有男女根。至卵胎中方有不具。若不爾者。應無受卵胎生義。問諸趣中有行相云何。答地獄中有。頭下足上而趣地獄。故伽他言。

Were it not so, there would be no sense in receiving birth from an egg or womb. Question: What are the postures of movement of the intermediate existences of the various destinies? Answer: The intermediate existence of the hells moves toward the hells with head down and feet up. Therefore, a gāthā says:
