One sees the arising, ceasing, and alteration of various forms of brightness and darkness; having observed these phenomena, one then has this thought: such formations are truly impermanent in nature. The rest is as stated before. How does one contemplate the impermanent nature of the alterations in the mutual affection and attendance between men and women? One observes that their mutual affection wanes or flourishes, flourishes or wanes, and cannot endure for long; having observed these phenomena, one then has this thought: such formations are truly impermanent in nature. The rest is as stated before.
