The single-prefix encoding, confirmed again
As with SN 45.122-126, this merged file uses a single unified key prefix rather than per-discourse sub-prefixes — confirmed by direct check before writing, not assumed from either encoding pattern already seen elsewhere in this vagga.
Key terms
yamunā... aciravatī... sarabhū... mahī — the same four rivers, now sloping east under Set 3's own formula
sabbā tā mahānadiyo — “all the great rivers” — the collective statement closing this block
nibbānaninnaṁ nibbānapoṇaṁ nibbānapabbhāraṁ — Set 3's own self-referential formula, confirmed to continue unabridged in the source's own bare ellipsis-marked entries
pe — the standard bilara-data elision marker, rendered as an ellipsis in the English translation
ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo — the noble eightfold path, defined identically throughout this vagga
