二謂身體強健骨髓實盛行步無雙。飲食自恣。莊飾頭首。謂為無比。張弓捻矢。把執兵杖。有所危害。不省曲直。罵詈衝口。謂為豪強。自計吾我。無有衰耗。疾病卒至。伏之著床。不能動搖。身痛如榜。耳鼻口目。不聞聲香美味細滑。坐起須人污露自出。身臥其上。眾患難喻。假使欲免常安無病。終不可得。

Second: having a strong and robust body, full of marrow, unmatched in walking and running, indulging freely in eating and drinking, ornamenting one's hair and head, regarding oneself as without equal; drawing bows and nocking arrows, grasping weapons, inflicting harm without examining right or wrong, bursting into curses and abuses, considering oneself mighty and strong, conceiving of an 'I' and 'mine' that would never decline or diminish—yet illness suddenly arrives, laying one flat in bed, unable to stir, the body in pain as if beaten with clubs; ears, nose, mouth, and eyes no longer hearing sounds, smelling fragrances, tasting delicacies, or feeling fine softness; needing others to sit up or rise, involuntary discharge of filth occurring so that one lies upon it, with manifold sufferings beyond description: wishing to be exempt, ever safe, and without disease is utterly unattainable.
