3 (701b) The actions of living beings always bring about accumulation [of particles of karman) (jīvānam ceya-kaļā kammā kajjanti no aceya-k. k. k.). Particles indeed are transformed so (tahā tahā ņam te poggalā parinamanti) [1] as to be accumulated by attraction (āhārôvaciya) and accumulated in [the being's] body (bondi- and kalevara-ciya), [2] as to cause all kinds of hardship and discomfort (dutthānesu dusejjāsu dunnisīhiyāsu), and [3] as to bring about disease (āyanke, loc. sg.), mental occupation (samkappe; samkalpaḥ: bhay'ādi-vikalpaḥ, Abhay.) and fatalities (maranânte) all of which result in the being's (se) death (vahāe hoi).

2 (703b) Mv. leaves Rāyagiha and goes to the sanctuary Egajambūya near the town Ulluyatīra. Goy. questions him. A monk who has cultivated his spiritual faculties (anagāra bhāviy'appā) and who performs certain ascetical practices (cf. II 161, IX 31a2, XI 01. 122) is allowed (se ... kappai) to move (auttāvettae) or stretch (pasārettae) his hands, feet, arms or legs only in the afternoon (paccacchimeņam ... avaddham divasam), not in the morning (puracchimeņam av. div.). If that monk gets tumours (tassa ņam amsiyão lambanti) and a physician sees it, gently lays him down and very gently cuts off the tumours (tam ca vejje adakkhu īsim pādei isim īsim amsiyāo chindejjā), the physician
