Further, sister, in this body of yours the four elements are produced (abhinirvṛtta), namely, the element of earth (pṛthivīdhātu), the element of water (abdhātu), the element of fire (tejodhātu) and the element of wind (vāyudhātu), and sister, the element of earth is not the self, not the being itself, not then life-principle, not the spirit, not the reincarnating individual (pṛthivīdhātus tu nātmā na satvo na jīvo na puruṣo na pudgalaḥ), and also the awakening is not the self, not the being itself, not then life-principle, not the spirit, not the reincarnating individual (bodhir api nātmā na satvo na jīvo na puruṣo na pudgalaḥ). Thus also the element of water, the element of fire and the element of wind are not the self, not the being itself, not then life-principle, not the spirit, not the reincarnating individual (evam abdhātus tejodhātur vāyudhātur nātmā na satvo na jīvo na puruṣo na pudgalaḥ), and also the awakening is not the self, not the being itself, not then life-principle, not the spirit, not the reincarnating individual (bodhir api nātmā na satvo na jīvo na puruṣo na pudgalaḥ). The element of earth and the awakening are the same because of their absolute sameness to empty space (pṛthivīdhātur bodhiś ca samā atyantākāśasamatvāt); the element of water and the awakening are the same because of their absolute non-existence (abdhātur bodhiś ca samā atyantābhāvatvāt); the element of fire and the awakening are the same because of their absolute neutrality (tejodhātur bodhiś ca samā atyantāniñjyatvāt); the element of wind and the awakening are the same because of being absolutely beyond demonstration (vāyudhātur bodhiś ca samā atyantānidarśanatvāt). What is the element of earth, sister, that element is known and understood by The True Being (yo pṛthivīdhātur bhagini so dhātus tathāgatena jñāto ’bhisamāgataḥ); what is the element of water, sister, that element is known and understood by The True Being (yo ’bdhātur bhagini so dhātus tathāgatena jñāto ’bhisamāgataḥ); what is the element of fire, sister, that element is known and understood by The True Being (yas tejodhātur bhagini so dhātus tathāgatena jñāto ’bhisamāgataḥ); what is the element of wind, sister, that element is known and understood by The True Being (yo vāyudhātur bhagini so dhātus tathāgatena jñāto ’bhisamāgataḥ); and sister, understanding the element of earth is awakening (pṛthivīdhātvavabodho bodhiḥ), thus, sister, understanding the element of water, the element of fire and the element of wind is awakening (evaṃ bhaginy abdhātutejodhātuvāyudhātvavabodho bodhiḥ); sister, that is why I tell you: "You are the awakening yourself (tvam eva bodhir iti)". Sister, the element of earth does not know the element of water (pṛthivīhātur bhagini nābdhātuṃ saṃjānāti); the element of water does not know the element of fire (abdhātur na tejodhātuṃ saṃjānāti); the element of fire does not know the element of wind (tejodhātur na vāyudhātuṃ saṃjānāti); in that way, sister, thorough knowledge of the word element is called awakening (tathā bhagini yā dhātunām aparijñā sā bodhir iti); sister, that is why I tell you: “You are the awakening yourself (tvam eva bodhir iti)”.
