The places where there are wrinkles (begin to) crack open on the surface (ūrdhva); his sense faculties, bodily humors, and spirit are somewhat diminished; hair grows on his tusk sheaths (veṣṭa), lip, ears, etc. [veṣṭoṣṭhakarṇādiṣu jātaromā], and the roots of his tusks have fallen out ; then he has entered the sixth stage”.
