復以聞慧。或以天眼。見於瘡蟲。隨有瘡處諸蟲圍繞。噉食此瘡。或於咽喉而生瘡病。或見刺蟲。若生瞋恚令人下痢。猶如火燒。口中乾燥飲食不消。若人愁惱蟲則歡喜。嚙人血脈以為衰惱。或下赤血。或不消下痢。或見閉筋蟲行於麁筋。或行細筋。若覺蟲行筋則疼痛。若不覺行筋則不疼。一切骨肉皆亦消瘦。筋中疼痛。若蟲瞋恚人不能食。若住筋中而飲人血。令人無力。若食人肉令人羸瘦。或見動脈蟲。是蟲遍行一切脈中。其身微細行無障礙。若蟲住入食脈之中。則有病過。令身乾燥不喜飲食。若蟲住水脈之中。則有病生。令口乾燥。若在汗脈。令人一切毛孔無汗。若在尿脈令人淋病。或令精壞。或令痛苦。若蟲瞋恚行下門中。令人大便閉塞不通。苦惱垂死。或見食皮蟲。以食過故蟲則瞋恚。令人面色醜惡。或生惡皰。或癢或赤或黃或破。或復令其鬚爪墮落。令人惡病。或皮斷壞。或肉爛壞。或見動脂蟲。住在身中脂脈之內。若食有過。若多睡眠。此蟲則瞋不消飲食。或生疥𭼦。或生惡腫毛根螵病。或得癭病。或脈脹。或乾消。或身臭病。或食時流汗。或見和集蟲。集二種身。一者覺身。二者不覺身。皮肉血等是名覺身。髮爪齒等是名不覺身。以食過故。蟲則無力人亦無力。不能速疾行來往返。睡眠𧄼瞢。或多燋渴。皮肉骨血髓精損減。或見臭蟲。住在肉中屎尿之中。以食過故蟲則瞋恚。身肉屎尿唾涕皆臭。鼻中爛膿。或眼淚爛臭。隨蟲行處皆悉臭穢。若衣若敷若食。住在齒中。以蟲臭故食亦隨臭。衣敷盡臭。舌上多有血垢臭穢。身垢亦臭。或見濕行蟲行背肉中。知食消已入腰三孔。取人糞穢汁則成尿。滓則為糞。令入下門。

Furthermore, by the wisdom acquired from hearing, or with the divine eye, one sees the sore-producing worm: wherever there is a sore, these worms gather around and devour it, or they produce sore diseases in the throat. Or one sees the piercing worm: if anger arises in it, it gives the person diarrhea as though burning with fire, causing dryness in the mouth and indigestion of food and drink. If the person grieves, the worm rejoices, gnawing at the person's blood vessels to inflict harm, either causing the discharge of red blood or causing undigested diarrhea. Or one sees the sinew-obstructing worm moving through coarse sinews or fine sinews: if one feels the worm moving, the sinews are painful; if one does not feel it moving, the sinews are not painful. All the bones and flesh become emaciated, with pain within the sinews. If the worm becomes angry, the person cannot eat; if it stays in the sinews and drinks the person's blood, it leaves the person powerless; if it eats the person's flesh, it makes him gaunt. Or one sees the vessel-agitating worm: this worm travels everywhere in all vessels, its body minute and moving without hindrance. If the worm enters and stays in the alimentary vessel, disease faults arise, making the body dry and averse to food and drink. If the worm stays in the water vessel, disease arises, making the mouth dry. If it is in the sweat vessel, it leaves all the pores of the person sweatless. If it is in the urine vessel, it causes strangury, spoils the semen, or inflicts agony. If the worm becomes angry and moves in the lower orifice, it causes the feces to become blocked and obstructed, causing distress to the point of death. Or one sees the skin-eating worm: due to dietary errors, the worm becomes angry, giving the person an ugly facial complexion, or producing foul boils that are either itchy, red, yellow, or burst open, or causing the beard and nails to fall off, bringing about repulsive diseases in the person, or breaking down the skin, or rotting the flesh. Or one sees the fat-agitating worm dwelling within the fat vessels of the body: if there are dietary errors or excessive sleep, this worm becomes angry and food is not digested; or scabies arises, or foul swellings and boils at the hair roots, or goiters, or swollen vessels, or dry wasting, or a foul body odor, or profuse sweating while eating. Or one sees the combining worm, which gathers two kinds of bodies: the first is the sentient body, and the second is the insentient body. The skin, flesh, blood, and the like are called the sentient body; the hair, nails, teeth, and the like are called the insentient body. Due to dietary errors, the worm becomes powerless, and the human also becomes powerless, unable to walk back and forth swiftly, falling into heavy, stuporous slumber, or suffering great parching thirst, with skin, flesh, bones, blood, marrow, and semen wasting away. Or one sees the foul-smelling worm dwelling in the flesh and amidst the feces and urine: due to dietary errors, the worm becomes angry, and the body's flesh, feces, urine, saliva, and snot all turn foul-smelling, with rotting pus in the nose or foul, rotting tears in the eyes; wherever the worm travels, all becomes foul and filthy. Whether clothing, bedding, or food—when it dwells in the teeth, because the worm is foul, the food likewise turns foul, and the clothing and bedding become completely foul; on the tongue there is much bloody grime and foul filth, and the body's grime is also foul. Or one sees the moisture-traveling worm moving in the flesh of the back: knowing that the food has been digested, it enters the three apertures of the waist, extracting the human filth, where the fluid becomes urine and the residue becomes feces, directing them into the lower orifice.
