asthisthūṇaṃ snāyuyutaṃ māṃsaśoṇitalepanam  
carmāvanaddhaṃ durgandhi pūrṇaṃ mūtrapurīṣayoḥ //

> Let him quit this dwelling, composed of the five elements, where the bones are the beams, which is held together by tendons (instead of cords), where the flesh and the blood are the mortar, which is thatched with the skin, which is foul-smelling, filled with urine and ordure, infested by old age and sorrow, the seat of disease, harassed by pain, gloomy with passion, and perishable.  
> — Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
