The space element is the great element of space. These five are that from which sentient beings are born, hence they are called 'elements' \[dhātu/bīja\]. Yet the nature of the four great elements has no past, future, or middle, being no different from the space element. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.73) - [Next: 8.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.75) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.8.74) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.74) · Pramāṇa
