transient like lightning or the arrival of clouds, resembling the falling of an earthen pot, / attended by every misfortune, and doomed to perish before long; / single in form, with nine gates, three pillars, and five deities, / filled with sense-objects and sense-organs, and afflicted by countless diseases.
