[1][pts] "For four things, monks, there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world.

Which four?

"'May what is subject to aging not age':

For this there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world.

"'May what is subject to illness not fall ill':

For this there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world.

"'May what is subject to death not die': For this there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world.

"'May the results of evil actions — defiled, leading to further becoming, distressing, ripening in pain and future birth, aging, and death — not appear':

For this there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world.

"For these four things, monks, there is no guarantor — neither a contemplative, nor a brahman, nor a deva, nor a Māra, nor a Brahmā, nor anyone at all in the world."
