4.105
Furthermore, when a heavenly being is on the verge of death, the signs of the five decays manifest and there is the anger that mars the face (the *Karma Sūtra* says: 'The bodies of heavenly beings are pure, free from dust and defilement; they possess great radiance; their minds are always joyful, and nothing is displeasing. When their merits are exhausted, the five signs of decay manifest: first, the flower crown withers and falls; second, sweat flows from both armpits; third, they take no pleasure in their original seat; fourth, their retinue scatters; fifth, the radiance of their bodies vanishes on its own.' Hence 'the anger that mars the face' refers to afflictions and anger appearing on the face).
