2.166

什曰:此明無常所壞,所以苦也。自此以下盡說苦喻也。為災病苦也。丘井以下,總喻生老病死眾苦無量也。肇曰:雖復澡以香湯、衣以上服,苟曰非真,豈得久立?

[Kumāra]jīva says: This clarifies that it is destroyed by impermanence, and is therefore suffering. From here down, he fully expounds the similes for suffering. Being a calamity is the suffering of illness. From the mound well downward, it broadly illustrates the immeasurable myriad sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death. [Seng]zhao says: Though bathed with fragrant waters and clothed in fine garments, if it is genuinely unreal, how could it endure for long?
