27. Kilesasaṁyutta: On Corruptions

I. Corruptions — SN27.9: Elements

1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, desire and greed for the earth element, the water element, the fire element, the air element, the space element, or the consciousness element is a corruption of the mind. …”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

"Yo, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo āpodhātuyā … yo tejodhātuyā … yo vāyodhātuyā … yo ākāsadhātuyā … yo viññāṇadhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.

Navamaṁ.
