[399] He was dwelling at Sāvatthī ... There the Blessed One ... "Bhikkhus, it is by way of elements (dhātu) that beings come together and unite: those of wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) come together and unite with those of wrong view; those of wrong intention (micchāsaṅkappa) ... those of wrong speech ... those of wrong action ... those of wrong livelihood ... those of wrong effort ... those of wrong mindfulness ... those of wrong concentration come together and unite with those of wrong concentration."
