1224. Since your perception is distorted, Your heart with passion is aflame. The marks of beauty should you shun, Bound up with lustful longing and desire. 1225. Your mind, one-pointed and collected, In seeing foulness should be cultivated. With mindfulness directed on the body, Dwell often in disgust concerning it.
