[113]

[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:

"There are these four elements, brethren.

Which are the four?

Earth-element,
water-element,
heat-element,
air-element:
these are the four."
