At Sāvatthī.
"Whatever, monks, is the arising, presence, production, manifestation of the solid element, etc.
the manifestation of ageing and death;
Whatever of the liquid element...
Whatever of the heat element...
Whatever of the air element...
Whatever of the space element...
Whatever is the arising, presence, production, manifestation of the consciousness element, this is the arising of suffering, the presence of diseases, the manifestation of ageing and death.
But whatever, monks, is the cessation of the solid element, etc.
the passing away of ageing and death;
Whatever is the cessation of the liquid element...
Whatever is the cessation of the heat element...
Whatever is the cessation of the air element...
Whatever is the cessation of the space element...
Whatever is the cessation, appeasement, passing away of the consciousness element, this is the cessation of suffering, the appeasement of diseases, the passing away of ageing and death."
