Mahattā bhūtattā cāti etāni hi mahantāni mahatā vāyāmena pariggahetabbattā bhūtāni vijjamānattāti mahattā bhūtattā ca mahābhūtāni.
「大故存在故」，因为此等（大种）应该以大努力而存在，所以大故存在故为大种。
Ñ(XI,103): (e) Because they are great and because they are entities: 'great' (mahant) because they need great effort to discern them, and 'entities' (bhūta = become) because they are existent; thus they are great primaries (mahābhūta) because they are great (mahā) and because they are entities (bhūta).
Evaṃ sabbāpetā dhātuyo mahantapātubhāvādīhi kāraṇehi mahābhūtāni.
如是此等一切界，以大的现前等的理由为大种。
Ñ: This is how all these elements are 'great primaries' by reason of 'great manifestation', and so on.
