Furthermore, the practitioner observes the body internally. Through the wisdom born of hearing or through the divine eye, one sees ten kinds of worms moving in the urine. What are the ten? First is the live worm; second, the needle-mouthed worm; third, the joint worm; fourth, the footless worm; fifth, the fluid-dispersing worm; sixth, the triple-burner worm; seventh, the intestine-rupturing worm; eighth, the obstructing worm; ninth, the fine-colored worm; tenth, the foul-orifice ulcer worm. When they emerge, their color is hideous, and they dwell in feces and filth. If these ten kinds of worms are provoked contrary to their nature, they also harm the human body; they are fully recorded in the sūtra texts and cannot be described in full.
