Well, "below treble staff" would be

%%%%%%% BEGIN LILY (RESTATED) CODE SNIPPET
\version "2.16.1"
\new Score \with { \remove "Mark_engraver" }
<<
  \new Staff \with { \consists "Mark_engraver"
                     \override RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN }
    {   c''1
        \mark \markup{ "BLA" }  %Need this below treble staff and above bass 
staff
        s1
    }
    { c''1 s1}
>>
%%%%%%%%%%% END LILY CODE SNIPPET

You are likely better off putting it above the bass staff in the same
manner (though that will require moving the \mark command appropriately
as well) in order to better fiddle with its positioning which likely
looks more natural when attached to the lower staff.
