Arising

“Mendicants, the arising, continuation, and manifestation and regeneration of the earth element is the arising of suffering, the continuation of diseases, and the manifestation of old age and death.*Said also of the aggregates (SN 22.30), and the senses (SN 35.21, 22), this template gets its own Saṁyutta (SN 26). | The first phrase in this template consistently has four terms, the final two of which (abhinibbatti and pātubhāva) are synonyms appearing together in the stock definition of “rebirth” (SN 12.2:4.2). The following phrase, however, only has three: arising (uppāda), continuing (ṭhiti), and manifestation (pātubhāva). I take abhinibbatti and pātubhāva as reinforcing synonyms, the purpose of which is to clarify that the phrase does, in fact, mean a new rebirth. The three phases then correspond to the rebirth, continuation of life, and passing away to be reborn anew. The arising, continuation, and manifestation and regeneration of the water element … The arising, continuation, and manifestation and regeneration of the fire element … The arising, continuation, and manifestation and regeneration of the air element is the arising of suffering, the continuation of diseases, and the manifestation of old age and death.

“Yo, bhikkhave, pathavīdhātuyā uppādo ṭhiti abhinibbatti pātubhāvo, dukkhasseso uppādo rogānaṁ ṭhiti jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo. Yo āpodhātuyā …pe… yo tejodhātuyā … yo vāyodhātuyā uppādo ṭhiti abhinibbatti pātubhāvo, dukkhasseso uppādo rogānaṁ ṭhiti jarāmaraṇassa pātubhāvo.

The cessation, settling, and disappearance of the earth element is the cessation of suffering, the settling of diseases, and the disappearance of old age and death. The cessation, settling, and ending of the water element … The cessation, settling, and ending of the fire element … The cessation, settling, and disappearance of the air element is the cessation of suffering, the settling of diseases, and the disappearance of old age and death.”
