- Being quiescent, it is unharmed
- By the fever of the subtle defiling forces,
- And, indestructible, it is not liable to decrepitude
- Through the undefiled active forces of life.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
- Being quiescent, it has no suffering
- From the illness of subtle defiling forces,
- And, being constant, it does not become decrepit
- By the accumulation of the Passionless Active Force.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
- Since it is peace, it does not [even] suffer harm
- from illnesses caused by subtle karmic imprints.
- Since it is immutable, there is not [even] aging
- induced by compositional factors free from stain.
