Sāvatthī (by inference from the vagga's own cross-reference)
Speakers
The Buddha, addressing the mendicants directly (by inference)
Form
Twelve discourses compressed into a single bilara-data file carrying NO body text of its own — only an elision marker, a colophon, and a closing uddāna
Length
A few seconds to read; no independently translatable content beyond the cross-reference itself
Northern parallel
No individual parallel confirmed by this project's own check
Difficulty
★☆☆☆☆ — the barest possible peyyāla stub, entirely dependent on cross-referenced content
Why this discourse
Confirmed by direct reading, this vagga's own merged file supplies no independent worked example at all — unlike every preceding peyyāla vagga in this stretch, which at least opened with one spelled-out simile. It exists purely to instruct: “tell in full as in SN 45.103–114, removal of greed version” — reusing the identical five-river structure already treated at SN 46.77–88, but this time under the “removal of greed, hate, and delusion” closing formula rather than the earlier self-referential “extinguishment” formula.
Reading guide
No body text at all -- confirmed, not assumed
Every content key in this file's own English translation is blank; the Pāli root gives only the elision marker “…pe…” before its own colophon and uddāna. This is a genuine step beyond the four preceding peyyāla vaggas (SN 46.89-98, 99-110, 111-120, 121-129), each of which at least opened with one spelled-out example before eliding the rest.
The second Ganges vagga, realized as predicted
This project's own note on Vagga 9 (SN 46.77-88) predicted that SN 45's own three-formula Dutiyagaṅgāpeyyālavagga (SN 45.103-138) might resurface in SN 46 as separate vaggas, one per formula, rather than folded into a single page. Confirmed here: this vagga's own explicit “removal of greed version” label targets only SN 45.103-114, the FIRST of SN 45's own three twelve-discourse formula cycles — leaving the remaining two cycles (freedom-from-death and extinguishment) to be confirmed individually among the vaggas still ahead.
An identical closing uddāna to Vagga 9's own
The closing verse — “six sloping east, six sloping to the ocean, these two sixes make twelve” — is confirmed by direct comparison to be worded identically to Vagga 9's own closing uddāna, since both vaggas share the identical underlying five-river, twelve-discourse structure and differ only in which closing formula each applies.
Key terms
…pe… — the bilara-data elision marker, here standing in for the ENTIRE body of this vagga — no other content key carries any text at all in this file
rāgavasena vitthāretabbaṁ — “to be elaborated in full by way of greed” — the Pāli root's own instruction, matching the English source's own “removal of greed version” label
gaṅgāpeyyālaṁ — “the Ganges-river abbreviated text” — confirming this vagga reuses the identical five-river structure already treated at SN 46.77-88, this project's own earlier Ganges vagga
vaggo cuddasamo — “the vagga, the fourteenth” — confirming this vagga's own position within this saṃyutta's own count
cha pācīnato ninnā, cha ninnā ca samuddato — “six sloping east, six sloping to the ocean” — the closing uddāna's own explicit count, worded identically to Vagga 9's own closing uddāna
The text
This vagga's own file carries no independently translatable body text; the fragment below is the source's own complete cross-reference instruction, honestly presented as such rather than padded with invented content. Translation: Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0, SuttaCentral).

Question 1 of 3
How does this vagga's own body text compare to the four preceding peyyāla vaggas in this stretch?
Correct: A. Confirmed by direct reading of this vagga's own bilara-data file — a genuine step beyond the preceding four vaggas' own pattern.
Question 2 of 3
Which specific portion of SN 45's own three-formula Dutiyagaṅgāpeyyālavagga does this vagga cross-reference?
Correct: A. Confirmed by direct reading, realizing this project's own earlier prediction (made at Vagga 9) that SN 45's three formula-cycles might resurface in SN 46 as separate vaggas.
Question 3 of 3
How does this vagga's own closing uddāna compare to Vagga 9's own (SN 46.77-88)?
Correct: A. Confirmed by direct comparison of both vaggas' own closing verses.
