89. This is the body’s nature: it is a collection of over three hundred bones,
jointed by one hundred and eighty joints, bound together by nine hundred
sinews, plastered over with nine hundred pieces of flesh, enveloped in the moist
inner skin, enclosed in the outer cuticle, with orifices here and there, constantly
dribbling and trickling like a grease pot, inhabited by a community of worms,
the home of disease, the basis of painful states, perpetually oozing from the nine
orifices like a chronic open carbuncle, from both of whose eyes eye-filth trickles,
from whose ears comes ear-filth, from whose nostrils snot, from whose mouth
food and bile and phlegm and blood, from whose lower outlets excrement and
urine, and from whose ninety-nine thousand pores the broth of stale sweat
seeps, with bluebottles and their like buzzing round it, which when untended
with tooth sticks and mouth-washing and head-anointing and bathing and
underclothing and dressing would, judged by the universal repulsiveness of
the body, make even a king, if he wandered from village to village with his hair
in its natural wild disorder, no different from a flower-scavenger or an outcaste
or what you will. So there is no distinction between a king’s body and an outcaste’s
in so far as its impure stinking nauseating repulsiveness is concerned.

90. But by rubbing out the stains on its teeth with tooth sticks and mouthwashing and all that,
by concealing its private parts under several cloths, by
daubing it with various scents and salves, by pranking it with nosegays and
such things, it is worked up into a state that permits of its being taken as “I” and “mine.”
So men delight in women and women in men without perceiving the
true nature of its characteristic foulness, now masked by this adventitious
adornment. But in the ultimate sense there is no place here even the size of an atom fit to lust after.
