Reading guide
The same five qualities, the same merged-file pattern
Confirmed by reading this merged file's own raw keys directly: ethics receives fuller treatment (matching SN 45.63's own shape), while enthusiasm, self-development, view, and diligence are each compressed to a single clause — the identical internal structure as SN 45.50-54's own.
A vagga-wide substitution, not a page-specific one
The dawn simile's absence here confirms it is a vagga-wide substitution rather than something varying discourse by discourse — every one of this vagga's own fourteen discourses opens with “one thing” rather than the dawn, checked directly across both this page and SN 45.63's own.
