'''It should be understood''' that, in '''due order''', death, sickness, and aging resemble fire for three reasons because [death] causes the six [inner] āyatanas to no [longer be] what is "mine," because [sickness] causes one to experience various pains, and because [aging] causes the formations to ripen. [However,] the tathāgata element in its phase of being impure is not changed even through these '''three fires of death, sickness, and aging'''. With regard to this, [the ''Śrīmālādevīsūtra''] says: | |||

For what reason is that? Bhagavan, the tathāgata heart is beyond being an object that has the characteristic of being conditioned.
