第十二中陰有者。以愚癡故受畜生身。無量種類。受百千億生死之身。墮於地獄餓鬼畜生。輪轉世間不可窮盡。以餘善業畜生中死。生二天處。或生四天王天。或生三十三天。於畜生惡道。苦報欲盡。將得脫身。則有相現。臨命終時。見光明現以餘善業癡心薄少。或見樂處即走往趣。如夢所見走往趣之。即生天上。是名第十二中陰有也。

> Twelfth, regarding the intermediate existence: having received animal bodies due to foolishness, in immeasurable varieties, receiving bodies of birth and death for hundreds of thousands of koṭis \[of lifetimes\], falling into the hells, pretas, and animals, revolving endlessly through the world; \[yet\] through the remainder of good karma, dying among animals, they are born in two heavenly places: either reborn in the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings, or reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three. In the evil destiny of animals, when the retribution of suffering is about to end and one is about to gain release, signs appear. When life is about to end, a bright light is seen appearing; due to the remainder of good karma, foolish thoughts are thinned and diminished. Or seeing a joyful place, one runs toward it; just as seen in a dream, one runs toward it and is immediately born in heaven. This is called the twelfth intermediate existence.
