Why this discourse

This file carries no independent content of its own at all — confirmed by direct reading, it consists solely of a bare title, “Punaappamādavagga,” and the note “this text consists of the title only; tell in full as in SN 45.139–148, removal of greed version.” Confirmed by the root Pāli's own “0.2” field, this belongs to the still-open Vagga 6 (Punagaṅgāpeyyālavagga), matching SN 48.137-146's own exact pattern.

Reading guide

A sub-section, matching SN 48.137-146's own pattern exactly

Confirmed by direct reading, this file and SN 50.55-66 both belong to the same vagga, “6. Punagaṅgāpeyyālavagga” — the identical structure this project already confirmed at SN 48.137-146 (a sub-section within SN 48's own Vagga 13), now reused for the five powers.

A specific variant, precisely named

As general canonical background, already confirmed at this project's own earlier treatment of SN 45.139: this cross-reference points to one specific paragraph within that discourse's own four embedded closing-formula variants — the “removal of greed” version — matching SN 50.55-66's own already-confirmed closing formula for this vagga.

Ten discourses, confirmed by canonical background alone

As general canonical background, already confirmed at this project's own earlier treatment of SN 45.139-148: the ten similes are the Realized One, a footprint, a roof's peak, roots, heartwood, jasmine, a monarch, the sun and moon, and cloth, here applied to the developed five powers.
