Obermiller (1931) [3]
- From the waters of the Biotic Force and Desire
- Arise the elements of life (as classified into) groups, component elements, and bases of cognition;
- And just as (the element of water), which is destroyed and formed anew,
- Do (the elements of life) appear and disappear again.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
- All the component elements of Phenomenal Life,
- Originated from the water-like Active Force and Defilements,
- Show their appearance and disappearance [repeatedly],
- Just as [the world repeats its] evolution and devolution.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
- From the water of karma and mental poisons
- the skandhas, entrances, and elements arise.
- As this [world] arises and disintegrates,
- they will arise and disintegrate as well.
