"Just born" means dying immediately upon birth. "Temporarily abiding": five years, ten years, or up to a hundred years are all generally called "temporarily abiding." As seen by the first heaven, fifty years in the human world is merely like a single day and night; how much more so to the noble wisdom! Thus the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra says: "Some die in the womb; some have their lives end as soon as they are born; some perish as soon as they can walk; some die suddenly as soon as they can run. Although they differ in longevity, all return to the place of death." Hence the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa says: "This body is false and deceptive; though provisionally sustained with bathing, clothing, and food, it must inevitably return to destruction." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.173) - [Next: 7.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.175) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.7.174) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.174) · Pramāṇa
