The thirty-two impurities of one’s body are disgusting in respect of colour,
Patikkulāni kāye me - Kunapāni dvi solasa
form, associable elements and space.


Patitamhāpi kunapā - Jeguccham kāya nissitam
The impurities within the body are more disgusting than those that fall from it.
Adharo hi sucī tassa - Kāyotu kunape thitam
Discharged impurities no longer contaminate the body.
Yet, the body still rests on undischarge impurities.

Asuci sandate niccam - Yathā medaka thālikā
Just as fat flows out from a full pot, even so impure matter flows out from this body.
Nānā kimi kulāvāso - Pakka candanikā viya
Like a cesspit, this body is host to millions of worms.


Ganda bhuto roga bhuto - Vana bhuto samussayo
This body is like a boil, a disease, a wound that is incurable.
