'Here, regarding internal dependent origination, what is the earth element? That which produces the solidity of the body by cohesion is called the earth element. That which performs the function of cohesion for the body is called the water element. That which ripens what is eaten, drunk, and chewed by the body is called the fire element. That which performs the function of inhalation and exhalation for the body is called the wind element. That which produces the state of internal cavity in the body is called the space element. That which produces name-and-form in the manner of a bundle of reeds—associated with the five collections of consciousness and the tainted mental consciousness—this is called the consciousness element.'
