{P103a} The substantial cause of the fires of '''the sufferings of death, sickness, and aging''' during the phase of [the tathāgata element’s] being impure is the fuel-like being '''born''' that is preceded by improper mental engagement, '''karma, and afflictions'''. In bodhisattvas during the phase of [the tathāgata element’s] being both impure and pure, who have obtained a body of a mental nature, there is no appearance whatsoever [of such a cause]. {D99b} Because of that, it is understood that the others [the fires of death and so on that are the results of being born] do not blaze at all [either].

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [4]
The Saint has rooted out the suffering
Of death, of illness, and old age.
He is not subjected to the birth conditioned by the Biotic Force and Desire;
Therefore the sufferings of the Phenomenal World which follow (such as birth)
Are not experienced by him.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
The sufferings of death, illness and decrepitude
Are destroyed by the Saints to the root;
There is a birth by the power of Active Force and Defilements;
As there is no birth [of such a kind]
The saints have no root [of defilements].
Fuchs (2000) [6]
The noble have eradicated the suffering
of dying, falling ill, and aging at its root,
which is being born due to karma and poisons.
There being no such [cause], there is no such [fruit].
