2.76

Consciousness conditions name-and-form. What is name? The four formless aggregates: feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness; this is called name. What is form? All form—the four great elements and derived form; this is called form. What are the four great elements? Earth, water, fire, and wind. What is earth? That whose characteristic is solid and heavy is earth; that whose characteristic is moist and wet is water; that whose characteristic is hot is fire; that whose characteristic is light and mobile is wind. The remaining visible forms, whether with resistance or without resistance, are called derived form. The combination of name and form is called name-and-form.
