50.1.1 Going through life (and) death.
Infantrymen who (can) live are three in ten,
(and) infantrymen who (will) die are three in ten.
50.1.2 People whose life is vibrant also in death grounds are three in ten.
50.1.3 So what is the reason?
Is because the growing of their life is rich.
50.2.1 As (I have) heard that those who (have) good regimen in life,
(can) travel the land without meeting tigers (and) rhinos,
(and can) enter battle without covered with armour (and armed with) weapons.
50.2.2 Rhinos have no place to thrust its horn,
(and) tigers have nowhere to place its claws.
Weapons (find) nowhere to apply their sharp edges.
50.2.3 So what (is the) reason?
Is because they have no ground for dying.
