Not given — a pure cross-reference instruction, carrying no worked example of its own
Speakers
The Buddha (implied)
Form
A single explicit cross-reference instruction, with no independent example, plus a closing uddāna
Length
<1 minute to read, per the source's own actual content
Northern parallel
No individual parallel confirmed by this project's own check
Significance
★★☆☆☆ — a third consecutive bare cross-reference vagga, confirming rather than merely suggesting a pattern for this book's remaining peyyāla vaggas
Why this discourse
This merged file carries no independent content of its own at all — confirmed by direct reading, it consists solely of the source's own explicit instruction, “tell in full as in the chapter on searches at SN 45.161–170,” plus its own closing uddāna. This is the third consecutive vagga in this book compressed this same way, following Appamādavagga (SN 48.83-92) and Balakaraṇīyavagga (SN 48.93-104), confirming rather than merely suggesting a genuine pattern for this saṃyutta's remaining peyyāla vaggas.
Reading guide
A third bare cross-reference, confirming the pattern
Confirmed by direct reading, this file gives neither the full topic-by-topic content (as this project's own SN 45.161-170 did, across ten individual pages) nor even a single worked example — the same compression this project has now met twice already this session, at SN 48.83-92 and SN 48.93-104.
Ten topics, confirmed by this file's own uddāna alone
As general canonical background, already confirmed at this project's own earlier treatment of SN 45.161-170: the ten topics are searches (esanā), discriminations (vidhā), defilements (āsavo), states of existence (bhavo), the threefold suffering (dukkhatā tisso), barrenness (khilaṁ), stains (malaṁ), troubles (nīgho), feelings (vedanā), and craving/thirst (taṇhā tasinā), here applied to the developed five faculties rather than the eightfold path.
A confirmed pattern, still not assumed indefinitely
This project's own explicit stance: with three consecutive vaggas now compressed identically, this project treats the pattern as confirmed for this stretch of the book, while still confirming each further vagga range by directly reading its own bilara-data file rather than skipping ahead on the strength of this pattern alone.
Key terms
Esanāvaggo vitthāretabbo — “the Searches chapter is to be elaborated in full” — this file's own sole substantive instruction, pointing entirely to SN 45.161-170 rather than repeating that content
esanā — “search, quest” — this vagga's own opening topic, already met throughout this project's own SN 45.161-170
esanā vidhā āsavo, bhavo ca dukkhatā tisso — “searches, discriminations, defilements, states of existence, three kinds of suffering” — the closing uddāna's own opening line, naming the first five of this vagga's own ten topics
khilaṁ malañca nīgho ca; vedanā taṇhā tasinā — “barrenness, stains, and troubles, feelings, craving, and thirst” — the uddāna's remaining five topics, completing the count of ten
Esanāvaggo ekādasamo — “the Searches chapter, the eleventh” — confirming this vagga's own position as the eleventh in this saṃyutta

Correct: A. Confirmed rather than merely suggested — the third consecutive instance of this exact compression.
Question 2 of 3
What does the closing uddāna confirm about this vagga's own topics?
Correct: A. Already confirmed at this project's own earlier work on SN 45.161-170.
Question 3 of 3
How does this project treat the now-confirmed compression pattern for further vaggas?
Correct: A. Confirmed for this stretch, but verification continues range by range.
