於時菩薩夜觀妓女。百節空中譬如芭蕉。鼻涕目淚。樂器縱橫。顧視其妻具見形體。腦髓髑髏心肺腸胃。外是革囊中有臭處。假借當還亦不得久。三界無怙唯道可恃。欲界諸天住於空中。法行天子遙白菩薩。時已到矣。沸星適現。即勅車匿起被揵陟。適宣此言。四天王與無數閱叉龍等。皆被鎧甲從四方來。稽首菩薩。城中男女皆疲極寐。孔雀眾鳥亦疲極寐。

At that time, in the night, the Bodhisattva observed the courtesans: their hundred joints hollow like plantain trees, mucus running from their noses and tears from their eyes, their musical instruments lying scattered. Turning to look at his wife, he fully perceived her physical form: brain and skull, heart, lungs, intestines, and stomach; on the outside, a leather bag, inside, a foul place. Formed of borrowed elements, it must be returned and cannot endure. The three realms are without refuge; only the Path can be relied upon. The devas of the desire realm stood in the sky. A deva son of Dharma practice spoke from afar to the Bodhisattva: 'The time has arrived. The star Tiṣya has just appeared.' [The Bodhisattva] immediately commanded Chandaka to rise and saddle Kaṇṭhaka. As soon as he uttered these words, the Four Heavenly Kings along with countless yakṣas, nāgas, and others, all clad in armor, came from the four directions. They bowed their heads to the Bodhisattva. The men and women in the city were all exhausted and deeply asleep; the peacocks and flocks of birds were also exhausted and fast asleep.
