།ལས་དང་ཉོན་མོངས་དབང་གིས་སྐྱེ།
།དེ་ལ་དེ་མེད་ཕྱིས་དེ་མེད།
And aging is removed by the noble ones.
[Such suffering] is born from the power of karma and afflictions,
[But] they lack it because they lack these.
De la mort, de la maladie et de la vieillesse. La naissance dérivant des affections et des actes N’est plus et ses suites ne seront point.

Obermiller (1931) [3]
- 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) [4]
- 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) [5]
- 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].
