Ten discourses compressed into a single bilara-data file, carrying no independent content beyond an explicit cross-reference
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
★★ — brief in its own written form, structurally confirmed to represent ten discourses reusing already-translated content
Why this discourse
Confirmed by direct reading, this file carries no independent content of its own: it instructs the reader to “tell in full as in the chapter on diligence at SN 45.139–148” — this project's own already-completed Appamādapeyyālavagga — rather than repeating the ten similes (the Realized One, a footprint, a roof's peak, and others) a third time in this book.
Reading guide
A direct cross-reference, confirmed a second time in this book
This project's own comparison: this is the second time in this book a saṃyutta's own diligence vagga has pointed back to SN 45.139-148 rather than rewriting its own content — the first being SN 46.89-98 — confirming the same compression pattern now applies to the four bases of psychic power as well.
A genuine textual variant, reported honestly
Confirmed by direct comparison, not resolved: this file's own English gives the sixth of the ten similes as “jasmine,” where this project's own earlier reading of SN 46.89-98 found the identical Pāli word (vassikaṁ) translated there as “rainy season” — a genuine cross-saṃyutta translation variant for the same term, reported here rather than silently harmonized.
Ten discourses, confirmed by the closing uddāna
Confirmed by direct reading of this file's own closing uddāna (“the Realized One, footprint, roof peak, roots, heartwood, jasmine, monarch, sun and moon, and cloth is the tenth”), this single file's own ten listed similes confirm it spans exactly ten discourses, SN 51.45 through SN 51.54.
Key terms
