Dhātusutta

Elements

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.

“Yo, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.
“Mendicants, desire and greed for the earth element,

Yo āpodhātuyā …
the water element,

yo tejodhātuyā …
the fire element,

yo vāyodhātuyā …
the air element,

yo ākāsadhātuyā …
the space element,

yo viññāṇadhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.
or the consciousness element is a corruption of the mind. …”

Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti.

Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti.

Navamaṁ.
