Translation/Explanation

Hindi

इस सूत्र में कहा गया है कि यदि शरीर की सीमा त्वचा तक ही मानी जाए, तो केवल बाल और नख जैसे अंग ही शरीर के अंग माने जाएंगे, क्योंकि वे त्वचा के बाहर स्थित हैं। यह निष्कर्ष तर्क के अनुसार उचित नहीं है, क्योंकि शरीर की परिभाषा इतनी सीमित नहीं होनी चाहिए।

English

This sūtra states that if the body is defined only up to the skin, then only entities like hair and nails, which are external to the skin, would be considered as part of the body. Such a conclusion is not logically acceptable, as the definition of the body should not be so narrowly confined.
