Hi Nina,

Thanks for this reference. I had not connected this with the four sakkaaya
di.t.thi as the grammatical structure is somewhat different.

In the sakkaaya di.t.thi,

ruupa.m attato samanupassati, ruupavanta.m vaa attaana.m, attani vaa ruupa.m,
ruupasmi.m vaa attaana.m. (MN 1, 300)

we have genitive, accusative, and two locatives whereas in MN 1 there is an
accus., locative, ablative and accus. + gen. (pa.thavi.m ma~n~nati, pa.thaviyaa
ma~n~nati, pa.thavito ma~n~nati, pa.thavi.m me'ti ma~n~nati) and no mention of
the self which is interpolated by Venerable Bodhi in his translation.

Thanks for pointing out these correspondences to me

Metta, Bryan

N: Ven. Bodhi translated this sutta and commentary: "The discourse on
the Root of Existence". BPS.
<Having perceived earth as earth, he conceives (himself as ) earth;
he conceives (himself) in earth; he conceives (himself apart) from
earth; he conceives 'earth is mine'...>
These are actually the four ways of sakkaya di.t.thi pertaining to
each of the five khandhas: thus, believing himself to be identical
with the khandhas, as being contained in them, to be independent from
them, to be their owner.
