At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Bhikkhū, the arising, continuation, rebirth, and manifestation of the earth element,

“Yo kho, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā uppādo ṭhiti abhinibbatti pātubhāvo …pe… jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo;

the water element,

yo āpodhātuyā …

the fire element,

yo tejodhātuyā …

the air element,

yo vāyodhātuyā …

the space element,

yo ākāsadhātuyā …

and the consciousness element is the arising of suffering, the continuation of diseases, and the manifestation of old age and death.

yo viññāṇadhātuyā uppādo ṭhiti abhinibbatti pātubhāvo, dukkhasseso uppādo, rogānaṁ ṭhiti, jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo.

The cessation of the earth element,

Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā nirodho …pe… jarāmaraṇassa atthaṅgamo;

the water element,

yo āpodhātuyā nirodho …

the fire element,

yo tejodhātuyā nirodho …

the air element,

yo vāyodhātuyā nirodho …

the space element,

yo ākāsadhātuyā nirodho …

and the consciousness element is the cessation of suffering, the settling of diseases, and the ending of old age and death.”

yo viññāṇadhātuyā nirodho vūpasamo atthaṅgamo, dukkhasseso nirodho, rogānaṁ vūpasamo, jarāmaraṇassa atthaṅgamo”ti.
