Not given — a bare cross-reference instruction, carrying no worked example of its own
Speakers
The Buddha (implied)
Form
A single cross-reference instruction; its own standalone vagga, not a nested sub-section
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 genuine structural difference from SN 48's own equivalent pattern, confirmed by direct reading
Why this discourse
Confirmed by direct reading of the root Pāli's own “0.2” field, this file opens its own standalone Vagga 7 (Punabalakaraṇīyavagga) — genuinely different from SN 48's own equivalent structure, where the parallel Punabalakaraṇīyavagga content was nested as a sub-section within a single larger vagga. A genuine Pāli/English discrepancy in the cross-reference note is again reported honestly rather than harmonized.
Reading guide
A genuinely different vagga structure from SN 48
This project's own explicit observation: at SN 48, Punaappamādavagga and Punabalakaraṇīyavagga were both sub-sections nested within a single Vagga 13 (Punagaṅgāpeyyālavagga), confirmed by both files sharing the same “0.2” field. Here at SN 50, Punaappamādavagga (SN 50.67-76) remains nested within Vagga 6, but this file's own “0.2” field reads “7. Punabalakaraṇīyavagga” — its own separately-numbered vagga, not a further sub-section.
A genuine Pāli/English discrepancy, reported honestly
Matching the pattern already confirmed at SN 48.159-168 and SN 49.35-44, this file's own root Pāli cross-reference names two vaggas together (“Appamādavagga-balakaraṇīyavaggā vitthāretabbā,” “the Diligence and Hard Work chapters are to be elaborated”), while the English source specifies only “SN 45.149–160, removal of greed version” — matching this vagga's own actual content (hard work) alone. Both readings are quoted rather than one being silently picked.
Twelve discourses, matching the established similes
As general canonical background, already confirmed at this project's own earlier treatment of SN 45.149-160: the twelve similes are hard work, seeds, a dragon, a tree, a pot, a spike, the atmosphere, two on clouds, a ship, a guest house, and a river, here applied to the developed five powers.
Key terms
Punabalakaraṇīyavaggo — “Another Hard Work Chapter” — this file's own standalone vagga, unlike SN 48's own nested version of the same content
Appamādavagga-balakaraṇīyavaggā vitthāretabbā — “the Diligence and Hard Work chapters are to be elaborated” — the root Pāli's own compound cross-reference, naming two vaggas together
tell in full as in SN 45.149-160, removal of greed version — the English source's own more specific instruction, matching this vagga's own actual content alone
rāgavinayapariyosānaṁ dosavinayapariyosānaṁ mohavinayapariyosānaṁ — “culminating in the removal of greed, hate, and delusion” — confirmed present at SN 45.149 as this vagga's own selected variant
balakaraṇīya — “requiring strength/hard work” — this vagga's own governing theme, now given its own standalone position as Vagga 7

Question 1 of 3
What genuine structural difference does this file confirm compared to SN 48's own equivalent pattern?
Correct: A. Confirmed by direct comparison of each file's own root Pāli "0.2" field.
Question 2 of 3
What discrepancy does this project report honestly between the Pāli root and the English source?
Correct: A. Both readings quoted rather than silently harmonized, matching the pattern already seen at SN 48.159-168 and SN 49.35-44.
Question 3 of 3
How many discourses does this vagga represent, and what similes does the established canonical background confirm?
Correct: A. Already confirmed at this project's own earlier work on SN 45.149-160.
