Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren."

"Yes, lord," replied those brethren to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"That, brethren, which is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of the earth-element,
that is the uprising,
the persisting,
the rebirth,
the manifestation of pain.

"That, brethren, which is the uprising,
