Dhātusutta  Elements

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.  At Sāvatthī.

“Yo, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.  “Mendicants, desire and greed for the earth element,
Yo āpodhātuyā …  the water element,
yo tejodhātuyā …  the fire element,
yo vāyodhātuyā …  the air element,
yo ākāsadhātuyā …  the space element,
yo viññāṇadhātuyā chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso.  or the consciousness element is a corruption of the mind. …”
Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. 
Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti. 

Navamaṁ.
