Houses are impermanent—“Aniccāni gahakāni, on and on, life after life.tattha tattha punappunaṁ; I’ve been searching for the house-builder—Gahakāraṁ gavesanto, painful is birth again and again.dukkhā jāti punappunaṁ.

I’ve seen you, house-builder!Gahakāraka diṭṭhosi, You won’t build a house again.puna gehaṁ na kāhasi; Your rafters are all broken,Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā, your ridgepole is shattered.thūṇikā ca vidālitā; My mind is without boundaries:Vimariyādikataṁ cittaṁ, in this very life it will dissipate.idheva vidhamissatī”ti.
