My dear mother, examine this body, up from the soles of the feet, and down from the tips of the hairs, so impure and foul-smelling.
“Uddhaṁ pādatalā amma, adho ve kesamatthakā; Paccavekkhassumaṁ kāyaṁ, asuciṁ pūtigandhikaṁ.
Meditating like this, all my lust is eradicated. The fever of passion is cut off, I’m cooled and quenched.
Evaṁ viharamānāya, sabbo rāgo samūhato; Pariḷāho samucchinno, sītibhūtāmhi nibbutā”ti.
