। ॥ १४५ ॥
In plain words
Suppose a monk spends himself on quieting each ailment as it turns up, hunting down the right medicine for each one, his mind never off the subject. Suppose śravaṇa and the practices that follow it quietly lapse, and then he dies. What has he actually secured? What fruit is there to show for it? He loses on both counts — and falls away from the one aim that was his.
Close to the Sanskrit
If he should become one engaged for the quieting of the string of diseases that arrive at their respective times, devoted to the medicines that remove each of them, intent upon thinking of that; and if that mendicant, having become devoid of the duties of hearing and the rest, thereafter dies — what accomplished fruit would he obtain? In both ways he would be fallen from his own aim.
