Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 4.4 — Nandaka (2nd)

1Curse you mortal frame, you stink!
You’re on Māra’s side, you fester!
O body, you have nine streams
that are flowing all the time.

2Don’t think much of mortal frames;
don’t disparage the Realized Ones.
They’re not even aroused by heaven,
let alone by humans.

3But those who are fools and simpletons,
with bad advisors, wrapped in delusion,
that kind of person is aroused by bodies,
when Māra has laid down the snare.

4Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance
have faded away;
such people are not aroused by bodies,
they’ve cut the strings, unbound.
