Original text:云何寻思内事劬劳。所作变异。无常之性。谓由观见。或自或他身疲劳性。身疲极性。或驰走所作。或跳踊所作。或趒踯所作。或骗骑所作。或作种种迅疾身业。复于余时。见彼远离疲劳疲极。见是事已。便作是念。如是诸行。其性无常。余如前说。

Explanation: How does one contemplate the internal phenomena of the body—the fatigue brought about by exertion—and the impermanent nature of the changes that occur? One observes the fatigability of one's own body or that of others, the extreme exhaustion of the body, whether caused by rapid walking, by jumping, by repeated leaping and bounding, by riding on horseback, or by performing various swift bodily actions; and then, at a later time, one sees that this extreme fatigue has ceased and disappeared. Upon observing these phenomena, the following thought arises in the mind: such formations as these are truly impermanent in nature.
