v1.c18.281

4. Jarā Sutta.—The Buddha sits, one afternoon, outside the Migārāmātupāsāda, warming his limbs in the sun, and Ānanda, while chafing the Buddha's limbs with his hands, tells him that his skin is no longer clear, his limbs are slack and his body bent. The Buddha explains that this is but natural, old age being inherent in youth and decay and death being inevitable.¹
