What are the five? First, the state of inevitably being depleted; second, the state of inevitably being discarded and lost; third, the state of inevitably becoming sick and emaciated; fourth, the state of inevitably decaying through old age; fifth, the state of inevitably dying. Wishing these five states not to bring depletion is impossible to attain." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 69.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.53) - [Next: 69.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.55) - [Up: 69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.69.54) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.28) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.54) · Pramāṇa
