Seven discourses compressed by bilara-data into a single file, matching SN 34.20–27's own shape at one discourse smaller
Length
under a minute to read
Northern parallel
A rough counterpart may exist in the Chinese Saṃyukta-āgama (T99), though this reading guide does not assert a specific matching sutra number
Difficulty
★☆☆☆☆ — trivial once SN 34.20–27's own pattern is understood
Why this discourse
This merged file opens emerging's own combinatorial set, pairing vuṭṭhāna ("emerging") against each of the seven qualities that follow it — gladdening, supports, territory, projecting, carefulness, persistence, and conducive — continuing this saṃyutta's own shrinking triangular pattern one discourse smaller than remaining's own set.
Reading guide
The third combinatorial anchor, one discourse smaller
Where remaining's own set spanned eight discourses, emerging's own spans seven — entering and remaining both already paired with emerging at earlier points, so this file's own pairings begin at gladdening.
The same compressed shape as SN 34.20–27
"One meditator is skilled in emerging from immersion but not in positivity for immersion …" opens this file, followed by the identical editorial note pointing back to the previous set's own full pattern.
Kallita's own two glosses, recalled here
As at SN 34.4, this file's opening pairing translates kallita as "positivity for immersion," matching that earlier discourse's own body-text rendering rather than its title's "gladdening."
Third of ten anchors, the shrinking pattern continuing
With entering's nine, remaining's eight, and now emerging's seven all accounted for, this saṃyutta's own triangular structure continues exactly as predicted.
Key terms
vuṭṭhāna — emerging — this combinatorial set's own shared anchor quality
kallita — gladdening, or positivity — the first quality named in this file, paired against emerging
ṭhiti — remaining — already paired with emerging at SN 34.20–27, excluded from this file's own seven pairings
peyyāla — an elision mark — here compressing an entire seven-discourse set to a single opening pairing plus editorial note
jhāyī — meditator — the general term for the four types this discourse classifies, by cross-reference to SN 34.1
The text
The complete merged file: the opening pairing (emerging and gladdening) and the source's own explicit editorial instruction covering the remaining six. Translation: Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0, SuttaCentral).
§1At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, there are these four meditators. What four? One meditator is skilled in emerging from immersion but not in positivity for immersion. …”
§2(These seven discourses should be told in full as the previous set.)

Question 1 of 5
How many discourses does this single merged file compress?
Correct: A. Emerging's own combinatorial set against the seven qualities that follow it.
Question 2 of 5
Which pairing is given in full at the start of this file?
Correct: A. The only pairing spelled out before the editorial note takes over.
Question 3 of 5
Why does this file's own combinatorial set begin at gladdening rather than entering or remaining?
Correct: A. Avoiding duplication across this saṃyutta's own combinatorial anchors.
Question 4 of 5
How does kallita's translation in this file compare to SN 34.4's own?
Correct: A. A minor translation variance already noted at SN 34.4.
Question 5 of 5
How many discourses does emerging's own combinatorial set span, compared to remaining's own eight?
Correct: A. Exactly as predicted by this saṃyutta's own triangular structure.
