Translation

	Having seen (the sick) and the dead, I felt weariness of life.
a1	Why cannot you (leave) the prison of the house just a little?
a1+	Again the Buddha (was staying) near Śrāvastī with the community.
a2	[65d]
a2	As a charioteer king Prasenajit was driving. Then the axle of the chariot broke, [and] the spokes were spread apart.
a2+	The king (however) at that time was doubtful about [his] life.
a3	[66d]
a3	Into the Jetavana to the Buddha he went. With reverence and veneration
a3+	the king (then) asked the Omniscient about the breaking apart of the chariot:
a4	[67d] -
a4	“Will there be for me a falling from the great, royal throne? Or is there to be to me danger for [my] life?”
a4+	To him the Omniscient spoke with pity:
a5	“There is no danger for [your] life, nor falling from the throne either, this doubt let go from [your] mind.
a5+	Although there are here, o lord, for (all) the world unpleasant laws.”
a6	[68d]
a6	The three to him announced the Buddha: sickness, old age [and] death. If those were not in the world, the Buddha would not need to rise after all. To remove such plagues, Omniscient ones rise here.
a7	Then the one having the ten powers spoke, to turn the king’s mind away from the world.
a7+	Under (the parable) of the chariot he spoke this strophe with deep meaning:
a8	[69d]
a8	Old [even] grow the chariots of the king, the very splendid ones. Thus also the bodies reach old age.
a8+	(But) the law (of the good ones) does not reach old age,
b1	[70d]
b1	then (these) good [Buddhas] always make it known again among (all the) good ones. Just as the joints (of the chariot are connected with straps), so the joints of the bones [are] connected with sinews and muscles here.
b2	If preserved with care, the chariots will stay for a long time.
b2+	But (even) a good body quickly shows its [true] self.
b3	[71d]
b3	At another time again in Śrāvastī the god of gods, The Buddha was staying. In the morning he went out of the cell.
b3+	The sun had already risen high.
b4	[72d]
b4	The Omniscient sat on [his] seat, he took off his upper garment [and] held the [his] back up to the sun. Ānanda sat on [his] knees.
b5	With both palms [of his hands] he massaged the body of the Buddha and rubbed it. Ānanda spoke to the Omniscient:
b5+	“There are seen on you, o God, the being-other-than-usual of [all] five sensory organs, eyes, etc.
b6	[73d]
b6	The cracking of the skin and the frailness of the flesh are seen on you.” “Thus it is, o Ānanda,
b7	(ugly) is old age.” Then in the community meeting the Buddha spoke three excellent strophes to drive away the confusion of the novices.
b8	[74d]
b8	“Fie on you, old age [you are] of a raw type, not noble, you [are] causing the beings a bad shape. Its (sight) thus (pleasing) the mind

a1	(Den Kranken) und den Gestorbenen gesehen habend, empfand ich [Lebens]überdruss. (Schmidt 1974: 162)
a1+	Again the Buddha stayed close to Śrāvastī with the community. As a driver then drove king Prasenajit. The axis of the cart broke and the spokes were scattered apart. (cf : ii, 9) (Peyrot 2013c: 375)
a2	Als Wagenfahrer fuhr der König Prasenajit. Da brach die Achse des Wagens, [und] die Speichen wurden auseinandergestreut. (Schmidt 1974: 137, 209)
a4	Will I fall down from my great royal seat? Or will there be danger of my life? (Peyrot 2013c: 357)
a6	If these were not there in the world, then the Buddha would not arise. (Peyrot 2013c: 372)
a6+	Um solche Nöte zu vertreiben, stehen hier die Alleswissenden auf. (Schmidt 1974: 283)
a8	Alt werden [auch] die Wagen des Königs, die sehr prachtvollen. Genau in derselben Weise (erreichen) auch die Körper das Alter. (Schmidt 1974: 105)
b2	Wenn sie sorgfältig bewahrt [sind], bestehen die Wagen lange. (Schmidt 1974: 272)
b4	Er [scil. der Alleswissende] legte [sein] Obergewand ab [und] hielt [wtl. machte] [seinen] Rücken hoch zur Sonne [hin]. (Schmidt 1974: 325, 413)
b4+	Ananda saß auf den Knien, mit den beiden Handflächen streichelte(?) er den Körper des Buddha [und] rieb ihn. (Schmidt 1974: 481)
b5+	Es sprach zu dem Allwissenden Ānanda: "Es werden an dir gesehen [zeigen sich an dir], o Gott, das Anders-als-sonst-Sein [aller] fünf Sinnesorgane, Augen usw. Das Rissigsein der Haut [und] die Schlaffheit des Fleisches werden an dir gesehen [zeigen sich an dir]." (Schmidt 1974: 233)
b8	Shame be upon you, old age! You are of a mean kind [and] not noble. (Peyrot 2013c: 309)
