“What does not arise does not pass away either. With the Unborn, it therefore goes without saying that it is imperishable.”
Bankei
To the card
The evidence is a quotation of the old Japanese text in a scholarly article with normalized orthography. Accordingly, Bankei says only “unborn”, because “imperishable” already follows from it. No independent collation of manuscripts.
