2.234

"Mahāmati, because consciousness delights in the realm of various tracks, [rebirth in] the remaining destinies continues. Mahāmati, the four great elements such as earth and derived forms have the conditions of the four great elements, yet are not the conditions of those four great elements. Why is this? Because nature, shape, location, and the upāya of action are without nature, the primary elements do not arise. Mahāmati, nature, shape, location, and the upāya of action arise through combination and are not without shape. Therefore, the signs of the forms derived from the four great elements are the vikalpa of tīrthikas, not mine."
