Here's an attempt:
Just as, O monks, even a tiny amount of dung has a foul smell,
exactly so, O monks, I do not commend even a tiny amount of
existence, even only an instant.
What threw me for a loop first was that I kept wanting to read
*accharaasanga.na = troop of nymphs. Those nymphs got stuck in my
mind and kept me from turning the page of the dictionary to find
'snap of the fingertips' :-)
