Why this discourse

The identical five qualities as SN 45.64–68 (ethics, enthusiasm, self-development, view, diligence), confirmed by direct comparison, within this vagga's own second round — closing, like SN 45.70, with “culminating in the removal of greed, hate, and delusion” rather than the first round's own formula.

Reading guide

The same five qualities, the second time over

Ethics, enthusiasm, self-development, view, and diligence appear in the identical order as SN 45.64–68's own, confirmed by reading this merged file's own raw keys directly — the fourth instance of this exact five-quality sequence this project has now confirmed across both vaggas.

A design confirmed twice over

Between Sūriyapeyyālavagga and Ekadhammapeyyālavagga, this project has now confirmed the identical 7×2 grid built twice — once with the dawn simile, once without — strong evidence this is a deliberate compositional pattern in this saṃyutta's own peyyāla vaggas, not coincidence.
