"At first, when the earth dissolves into the water, the outer sign is physical deterioration. The body won't bend, and it is as if a great weight presses down. You can't get up and you can't control urine. The inner signs are mental images like a flow of smoky light that makes a bluish slithering movement and like vapors that make a bluish wafting [movement], and the feeling that it comes back and covers you.

"When water dissolves into fire, the outer signs are a dry mouth, the breath rasping with fiery heat, the lips not meeting, and the tongue drying up and turning back, making it difficult to speak. The warmth in the five places moves. The inner signs are mental images of distracting appearances like dense, shimmering mirages that move precisely, the feeling of being overtaken by a great rainstorm, and thinking that the ground has become flooded with a huge river.

"As fire dissolves into wind, the outer signs are that the body's heat is lost and the senses become unclear. There is much yawning and you can't draw the breath, so you make [the sound] na ra ra, and each resting period [between breaths] becomes quite long. The inner signs are a shining flame, an [appearance] like a flame being carried to and fro, the flame increasing and the feeling that it will burn you. You think that all the mountains and valleys are ablaze with fire.
