Explanation: How does one observe the impermanent and mutable nature of scents, garlands, and unguents? One first sees various fragrant garlands, fresh, radiant, and aromatic; later one sees them withered, decayed, and foul-smelling. Having seen these phenomena, one forms this thought: such formations are truly impermanent in nature. The rest is as taught before. How does one observe the impermanent and mutable nature of the necessities of life? One observes that the necessities of life did not exist before, then were made, and after being used were destroyed, constantly changing from beginning to end. Having observed these phenomena, one forms this thought: such formations are truly impermanent in nature. The rest is as taught before.
