Nine discourses compressed into a single bilara-data file, giving one explicit example before an explicit cross-reference instruction
Length
<1 minute to read, per the source's own actual content
Northern parallel
No individual parallel confirmed by this project's own check
Difficulty
★★☆☆☆ — brief in its own written form, but structurally confirmed to represent nine discourses
Why this discourse
The four floods — of sensuality, desire to be reborn, views, and ignorance — open a nine-discourse cycle confirmed by direct reading to be the FIRST nine of this vagga's own ten discourses, cross-referencing the identical cycle already met at SN 45.171 in this book's own Maggasaṃyutta — with the vagga's own TENTH discourse (on the five higher fetters) reserved for its own separate, fully written-out page.
Reading guide
A direct cross-reference, not independent content
Confirmed by direct reading, the source itself instructs readers to “tell in full as in SN 45.171–179” — this project's own already-completed opening cycle of the Oghavagga from the Maggasaṃyutta — rather than rewriting the full topic-by-topic content again. Confirmed to cover exactly nine discourses (floods, yokes, attachments, ties, tendencies, sensual pleasures, hindrances, and aggregates), not the vagga's own full ten.
No colophon or uddāna of its own -- unlike the preceding three vaggas
Confirmed by direct reading, this merged file ends simply at the elaboration instruction, with none of the colophon or closing uddāna that closed the three preceding peyyāla vaggas (Appamādavagga, Balakaraṇīyavagga, Esanāvagga). This vagga's own colophon and uddāna appear instead at the end of its own TENTH discourse (SN 46.130), confirmed by direct reading rather than assumed from the previous three vaggas' own pattern.
