Such a body, though dwelling in palaces, surrounded by consorts, concubines, inner officials, beautiful women, and relatives, with various musical performances and diverse entertainments, enjoying oneself with joy and pleasure, when approaching the end of life, upon seeing ominous signs, one will inevitably be terrified, sorrowful, distressed, and afflicted.

English version The officials and common people of the city, with their palms together, exclaimed in astonishment. Although enjoying such supreme and wonderful karmic rewards, possessing free and glorious wealth, before long they must close their eyes, release their hands, and be unable to move again, lying prostrate on the funeral carriage. The people carry and pull it, taking it out of the great city gate. Parents, wives, brothers, sisters, maids, servants, numerous officials and assistants, relatives and family members follow on the left and right, their hearts filled with sorrow and distress, their hair disheveled, raising their hands to beat their heads, pounding their chests, weeping with grief, lamenting and wailing, all saying: 'How bitter!' The people of the city, seeing this scene, all lament and envy. Following to the burial place, some expose the corpse to the elements, giving it as alms to various birds and beasts, crows, magpies, hungry dogs, eagles, vultures, owls, foxes, wolves, jackals, and various evil beasts, who fight and tear at it, devouring flesh and blood, bones scattered in disarray, exposed to wind and sun, soaked by rain and frost, limbs and joints disintegrating, scattered in different places; some pile up firewood and cremate it, sinews and bones charred and rotten, flesh and blood digested, foul smoke filling all directions, after the fire goes out, the bones disappear, ashes fly and dust scatters; some dig the earth to bury the body in a tomb, after a long time, the flesh decays, the bones rot. 'Great King, you should know! This body is thus subject to decay and impermanence, all sentient beings and all actions are like this, not eternal and unchanging, unreliable and untrustworthy, all are subject to change, swiftly unceasing, flowing and moving, ultimately returning to destruction, moment by moment passing away, ultimately turning to ashes, ultimately all heading towards the gate of extinction, this is the law of loss and destruction, there are various terrors and fears, there are various calamities and misfortunes, there are many sorrows and afflictions, all are laws of falling, scattering, severing, destruction, and separation. 'Therefore, Great King! You should diligently cultivate, follow the contemplation of impermanence, follow the contemplation of extinction, do not be defiled by greed, do not be agitated by anger, do not be obscured by ignorance, do not indulge in the royal wealth and pleasure, do not indulge in the royal freedom and pleasure, do not indulge in the royal pleasure of love and desire, do not indulge in other various pleasures and enjoyments. You should eliminate arrogance and negligence arising from wealth and life, you should fear the impermanent death-mara (death-demon), who arrives suddenly without making an appointment. As the ruler of a great kingdom, you should govern the country with the Dharma (law/teachings), not with non-Dharma, you should act in accordance with the Dharma, not in accordance with non-Dharma, you should have compassion for all sentient beings, treating them all like your own children, you should sincerely uphold the Buddha-Dharma (Buddha's teachings), continue' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

隆三宝勿复余顾。所以者何？生死海中流转无始，唯佛正法是大津梁，千万亿劫实难值故。 “大王当知！我终不说获得世间诸欲乐具，积聚受用名富贵者，我说获得诸佛正法圣慧财宝积聚受用，乃名圆满真富贵者。是故，大王！应当厌离世间所有诸欲乐具，应当愿求诸佛正法圣慧财宝。” 时薄伽梵说是经已，憍萨罗主胜军大王，及诸世间天人等众，闻佛所说皆大欢喜，信受奉行。 如来示教胜军王经 现代汉语译本：不再顾虑隆三宝（指佛、法、僧三宝）。为什么呢？因为在生死轮回的大海中流转是没有开始的，只有佛的正法才是巨大的桥梁，千百万亿劫都难以遇到啊。 ‘大王您应当知道！我最终不会说获得世间的各种欲望享乐，积聚受用就叫做富贵，我说的是获得诸佛的正法和圣慧的财宝，积聚受用，才叫做圆满真正的富贵。因此，大王！您应当厌离世间所有各种欲望享乐，应当希望追求诸佛的正法和圣慧的财宝。’ 当时，薄伽梵（Bhagavan，世尊）说完这部经后，憍萨罗（Kosala）国的国王胜军大王，以及世间的天人等大众，听闻佛所说的都非常欢喜，信受奉行。 《如来示教胜军王经》

English version: Do not again concern yourself with the Three Jewels (referring to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha). Why is that? Because wandering in the sea of birth and death has no beginning, only the Buddha's true Dharma is a great ferry, truly difficult to encounter in countless millions of kalpas. 'Great King, you should know! I will ultimately not say that obtaining worldly desires and pleasures, accumulating and enjoying them, is called wealth and nobility. I say that obtaining the true Dharma of all Buddhas and the treasures of sacred wisdom, accumulating and enjoying them, is called complete and true wealth and nobility. Therefore, Great King! You should be disgusted with all worldly desires and pleasures, and you should wish to seek the true Dharma of all Buddhas and the treasures of sacred wisdom.' At that time, after the Bhagavan (Bhagavan, The Blessed One) finished speaking this sutra, King Prasenajit (King Shengjun) of Kosala (Kosala), and the great assembly of gods and humans in the world, all rejoiced greatly upon hearing what the Buddha said, and faithfully accepted and practiced it.
