Many translators misuse the term bardo in their translation for spirits deliverance (¶W«×). My definition based on extensive researching for bardo would be:
A transient state of existence after death and before rebirth into one of the six realms.
Spirits deliverance include not only bardos, but also spirits from the four realms, i.e., the realm of the hungry ghost, realm of hell, divas, and asuras. The realm of the human beings and the realm of the animals are
excluded because they are not in spirit's form.
