[1] THUS have I heard.

On a certain occasion the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta Grove, the Anāthapiṇḍika Park.

Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren."

"Yes, lord," replied those brethren to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

Mrs. Rhys Davids' translation here has gone off the rails. Bhk. Bodhi's is better:
"the arising, continuation, production, and manifestation of the earth element is the arising of suffering, the continuation of disese, the manifestation of aging-and-death.

— p.p.

"That, brethren, which is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of the earth-element,
that is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of pain.

That, brethren, which is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of the water-element,
that is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of pain.

That, brethren, which is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of the fire-element,
that is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of pain.

That, brethren, which is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of the air-element,
that is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of pain.

§

That which is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of the earth-element,
that is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of pain.

That which is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of the water-element,
that is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of pain.

That which is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of the fire-element,
that is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of pain.

That which is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of the air-element,
that is the ceasing,
the quelling,
the going out of pain."
