Significance
★★★★★ — closes Sūkarakhatavagga, confirmed exactly by its own uddāna, the sixth consecutive vagga in this saṃyutta found to hold exactly ten discourses
Why this discourse
This discourse closes Sūkarakhatavagga with a companion claim to SN 48.59: rather than the Buddha's own appearance in the world, this discourse names the Buddha's own TRAINING (sugatavinaya) as the necessary condition without which the five faculties cannot arise to be developed and cultivated — together naming two distinct, complementary conditions for the five faculties' own arising in the world.
Reading guide
The vagga's own closing colophon and uddāna, confirmed exactly
Confirmed by direct reading, this discourse's own closing colophon — “Sūkarakhatavaggo chaṭṭho” (“Sūkarakhatavagga, the sixth [vagga of this saṃyutta], is finished”) — and its own uddāna verse account for all ten discourses this project has translated: “uppādā apare duve” (“and the two further 'arising' [discourses]”) explicitly bundles SN 48.59-60 as a pair, exactly matching this project's own tracked sequence.
A companion condition to SN 48.59's own claim
Confirmed by direct comparison, this discourse's own structure mirrors SN 48.59 exactly, but names a different necessary condition: not “nāññatra tathāgatassa pātubhāvā” (“except from a Realized One's own appearance”), but “nāññatra sugatavinayā” (“except from the Holy One's own training”) — the Buddha's own appearance and his own teaching system named as two distinct, complementary requirements.
A sixth vagga, confirmed at exactly ten discourses
This project's own running observation: with this discourse's own colophon and uddāna confirmed, every vagga this project has translated in this saṃyutta — Chaḷindriyavagga, Sukhindriyavagga, Jarāvagga, and now Sūkarakhatavagga, alongside the two earlier vaggas already completed — has held to exactly ten discourses, despite each vagga's own genuinely different internal structure (bundled discourses, expanded discourses, similes, narrative scenes).
Key terms
Sūkarakhatavaggo chaṭṭho — “the sixth vagga, Sūkarakhatavagga, is finished” — the Pāli root's own closing colophon
sugatavinayā — “the Holy One's own training” — the necessary condition named here, distinct from SN 48.59's own “tathāgatassa pātubhāvā”
anuppannāni uppajjanti — “arise, having not arisen before” — the same phrase met at SN 48.59, now conditioned on the training rather than the appearance
Dasamaṁ — “the tenth” — the closing colophon marker, confirming this as the vagga's tenth discourse
Sālaṁ mallikaṁ sekho ca, padaṁ sāraṁ patiṭṭhitaṁ; Brahmasūkarakhatāyo, uppādā apare duveti — the closing uddāna, confirmed to match this project's own SN 48.51-60 exactly, item for item
