Within this, the first two are distinguished as coarse and subtle: the gradual decline and alteration moment by moment from beginning to end is called "moment-to-moment aging"; the exhaustion of a single retribution when one's years decline and faculties ripen is called "lifelong aging." The latter two are distinguished with respect to differences in time: the occurrences of decline and alteration from the beginning up until the prime of life are called "growing aging"; after years decline, it is called "decaying aging." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.5.54) - [Next: 5.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.5.56) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.5.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.5.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.5.55) · Pramāṇa
