Why this discourse

Thirty consecutive discourses (SN 43.14 through SN 43.43), confirmed by directly listing bilara-data's own directory to be stored in a single merged file rather than thirty separate ones, each keep only their own fresh synonym's name — no repeated cross-reference sentence at all, unlike SN 43.13's own explicit editorial note. This project quotes every one of these thirty genuinely distinct translated fragments in full rather than summarizing the run as uniform filler, per this project's standing rule on peyyāla coverage: every genuinely different piece of translated content is cited once, never skipped merely for being part of a repetitive series.

Reading guide

Thirty names, no repeated instruction

Unlike SN 43.13's own full sentence — “I will teach you the uninclined…(tell in full as in the unconditioned)—” each of these thirty entries keeps only the bare teach-you fragment with the new synonym's own name, confirmed by reading the merged file directly: bilara-data itself compresses even the cross-reference sentence away once the pattern is established.

Thirty distinct words, quoted rather than summarized

From “the undefiled” through “the refuge,” every one of these thirty fragments names a genuinely different English word or short phrase for nibbāna — some familiar from elsewhere on this site (extinguishment, dispassion, purity, release), several rare enough to appear nowhere else in this project so far (the not liable to trouble, the very hard to see) — each one quoted below rather than folded into a single paraphrased list.

Every entry still points to SN 43.12

None of these thirty discourses restates the eleven path-formulations; each presupposes the identical cross-reference SN 43.13 spelled out explicitly, confirmed by the total absence of any path-formulation language anywhere in this merged file.

Key terms

anāsavaṁ — “the undefiled” — opening this merged run at SN 43.14, the second of thirty-three fresh synonyms overall
nibbānaṁ — “extinguishment” — at SN 43.34, the one entry among these thirty that gives nibbāna's own most familiar name directly, roughly at the run's own midpoint
virāgo... suddhi... mutti — “dispassion... purity... release” — three consecutive entries (SN 43.36–38) naming qualities familiar from this project's own earlier books, here applied as names for the goal itself
dīpaṁ... leṇaṁ... tāṇaṁ... saraṇaṁ — “the island... the asylum... the shelter... the refuge” — the closing run of four images of safety, SN 43.40–43, immediately preceding SN 43.44's own final synonym
dutiyavaggo — “chapter two” — confirmed in this merged file's own heading for every one of its thirty entries, none opening a new vagga of its own

The text

Every genuinely translated fragment in this merged file, quoted in full and grouped in three runs of ten for readability. Each entry's own remaining content is a cross-reference to SN 43.12, identical to SN 43.13's own explicit note, and is not repeated thirty times over. Translation: Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0, SuttaCentral).

Question 1 of 4
How many discourses does this single merged page cover?
Correct: A. Confirmed by directly listing bilara-data's own directory: one merged file for thirty discourses.
Question 2 of 4
What does each of these thirty entries keep, compared to SN 43.13's own explicit cross-reference sentence?
Correct: A. Bilara-data compresses even the cross-reference sentence away once the pattern established at SN 43.13 is set.
Question 3 of 4
Why does this reading guide quote all thirty fragments individually rather than summarizing them as a uniform list?
Correct: A. The project's standing rule on peyyāla coverage: real content is never dropped merely for appearing repetitive.
Question 4 of 4
Which entry in this run names nibbāna's own most familiar English rendering directly?
Correct: A. Roughly at this run's own midpoint, among the thirty synonyms.
