Punaesanāsutta — Punaesanāvagga

Setting
Not given — a bare cross-reference instruction, its own standalone vagga
Speakers
The Buddha (implied)
Form
A single cross-reference instruction; no worked example, colophon, or uddāna of its own
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
★★★☆☆ — its own standalone vagga (unlike SN 48.137-158's own sub-sections), and a genuine Pāli/English discrepancy in its own cross-reference note

Why this discourse

Confirmed by direct reading of the root Pāli's own “0.2” field, this file opens its own standalone vagga (“14. Punaesanāvagga”), unlike the three sub-sections just completed within Vagga 13. Its own cross-reference also carries a genuine variant, reported honestly rather than harmonized: the Pāli root names three vaggas, while the English source specifies only one, matching this vagga's own name.

Reading guide

Its own vagga, not a further sub-section

Confirmed by direct reading, this file's own root Pāli “0.2” field reads “14. Punaesanāvagga,” distinct from Vagga 13's own field across all three of its own sections — this vagga stands on its own, ten discourses per its own name's echo of Esanāvagga (SN 45.161-170) alone.

A genuine Pāli/English discrepancy, reported honestly

This project's own standing practice, applied here rather than silently resolved: the root Pāli's own cross-reference reads “Appamādavagga-balakaraṇīyavagga-esanāvaggā vitthāretabbā” (“the Diligence, Hard Work, and Searches chapters are to be elaborated”) — naming all three vaggas just completed within Vagga 13 — while the English source specifies only “SN 45.161–170,” matching Esanāvagga alone and this vagga's own actual name. Both are quoted below rather than silently picking one.

The removal-of-greed variant, confirmed at SN 45.161 itself

Confirmed by directly re-reading this project's own SN 45.161: the “removal of greed, hate, and delusion” closing formula is present at its own segment 2.7, exactly the variant this cross-reference selects, matching the identical pattern already confirmed at Vagga 13's own three sections.
