Three discourses, each keeping its own individual key prefix, matching SN 34.46–49's own encoding
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 34.46–49's own pattern is understood
Why this discourse
This merged file opens projecting's own combinatorial set, pairing abhinīhāra ("projecting") against each of the three qualities that follow it — all three members of this saṃyutta's own -kārī cluster: carefulness, persistence, and conducive.
Reading guide
Projecting meets the entire -kārī cluster
With this file, projecting is paired in turn against carefulness, persistence, and conducive — the same three qualities already confirmed at SN 34.46–49 to sit consecutively at this saṃyutta's own list's end.
Per-sutta-prefix encoding, matching the previous file
As at SN 34.46–49, each of this file's three sub-discourses (sn34.50:, sn34.51:, sn34.52:) keeps its own individual key prefix.
Seventh of ten anchors, three more still to come
With entering, remaining, emerging, gladdening, supports, and territory all complete, projecting opens the seventh of this saṃyutta's own ten combinatorial anchors.
The countdown nearing its own end
After this file, only two anchor sets remain: carefulness's own two pairings (SN 34.53–54) and persistence's own single pairing (SN 34.55), the last of which closes this entire saṃyutta.
Key terms
abhinīhāra — projecting — this combinatorial set's own shared anchor quality
sakkaccakārī — practicing carefully — the first quality named in this file, paired against projecting
sātaccakārī — practicing persistently — the second quality named in this file
sappāyakārī — doing what's conducive — the third and final quality named in this file, closing projecting's own set
peyyāla — an elision mark — here compressing three sub-discourses, each preserving only its own opening line
The text
The complete merged file: projecting paired against carefulness, persistence, and conducive, exactly as bilara-data preserves each. Translation: Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0, SuttaCentral).
