The fourth intermediate state: If a person of Jambudvīpa dies and is born in the realm of Pūrvavideha, signs appear. They see the sign of blue fine wool; everything is blue, completely covering the void. They see their houses all like empty space. Fearing that the blue wool will disappear, they shield it with their hands; relatives say they died shielding empty space. They see the intermediate state body like the form of a horse. They see their father like a stallion and their mother like a mare; the parents are copulating and uniting in affectionate defilement. If born as a male, he thinks: 'I should unite with this mare.' If born as a female, she sees her own body in the form of a mare and thinks: 'Why does such a stallion not unite with me?' Having thought this, she immediately receives a female body. This is called the fourth intermediate state of being born in Pūrvavideha.
