|EnglishCommentary=Now, what are the twelve verses about the topic of [the tathāgata element’s] being changeless during its phase of being impure?
::'''Just as all-pervasive space'''
::'''Is untainted due to its subtlety''',
::'''So this [basic element] that abides everywhere'''
::'''In sentient beings is untainted'''. I.52
::'''Just as the worlds everywhere'''
::'''Are born and perish in space''',
::'''So the faculties arise and perish'''
::'''In the unconditioned basic element'''. I.53
::'''Just as space was never''' {D97b}
::'''Burned before by any fires''', {P101a}
::'''So this [basic element] is not consumed'''
::'''By the fires of death, sickness, and aging'''. I.54
::'''Earth rests upon water, water on wind''',
::'''And wind on space''',
::'''[But] space does not rest on the elements'''
::'''Of wind, water, or earth'''.<ref>This refers to the ancient Indian cosmological model of worlds arising in space due to the four elemental spheres of wind, fire, water, and earth being stacked up in that order and thus supporting the upper spheres. As VT (fol. 13r1) confirms, the element of fire is not mentioned among the four elements in this text because fire is used to illustrate sickness, aging, and death, which destroy one’s prior state of existence.</ref> I.55
::'''Likewise, skandhas, dhātus, and faculties'''<ref>Here, the text has ''indriya'', which is always replaced by āyatana below.</ref>
::'''Rest on karma and afflictions''',
::'''And karma and afflictions always rest on'''
::'''Improper mental engagement'''. I.56
::'''Improper mental engagement'''
::''Rests on the purity of the mind''',
::'''[But] this nature of the mind does not rest'''
::''On any of these phenomena'''. I.57
::'''The skandhas, āyatanas, and dhātus'''
::'''Should be understood as being like the element of earth'''.
::'''The karma and afflictions of living beings'''
::'''Should be understood as resembling the element of water'''. I.58 {J43}
::'''Improper mental engagement'''
::'''Is to be known as being like the element of wind'''.
::'''Being without root and not resting [on anything]''',
::'''[Mind’s] nature is similar to space'''. I.59
::'''Improper mental engagement'''
::'''Rests on the nature of the mind''',

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [6]
From the waters of the Biotic Force and Desire
Arise the elements of life (as classified into) groups, component elements, and bases of cognition;
And just as (the element of water), which is destroyed and formed anew,
Do (the elements of life) appear and disappear again.
Takasaki (1966) [7]
All the component elements of Phenomenal Life,
Originated from the water-like Active Force and Defilements,
Show their appearance and disappearance [repeatedly],
Just as [the world repeats its] evolution and devolution.
Fuchs (2000) [8]
From the water of karma and mental poisons
the skandhas, entrances, and elements arise.
As this [world] arises and disintegrates,
they will arise and disintegrate as well.
