16.2.p3

‘‘Uragova tacaṃ jiṇṇaṃ, hitvā gacchati saṃ tanuṃ;
Evaṃ sarīre nibbhoge, pete kālakate sati.

Even as a snake casts off his old skin, so a man casts off his own body and goes to the other world;
Even so fares his body, deprived of the capacity of enjoyment, when he is dead and gone.

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
