Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN46: Connected Discourses on the Factors of Enlightenment

SN46:99–110 Strenuous, Etc.

1[n.120] Ee wrongly numbers these suttas "99–100," which throws off the subsequent numbers. (Feer has corrected this error in his introduction to Part 5, p. v.) The following errors in Ee's numbering scheme should also be noted: Ee's block "100–110 (1–12)"—corresponding to my "111 (1)-120 (10)"—counts twelve suttas though there are only ten. (The summary verse in Be includes taṇhā-tasināya, but as the two are merged only ten suttas are counted.) Ee's block "154–164 (1–10)"—corresponding to my block "165 (1)-174 (10)"—has the right number of suttas but numbers them as if there were eleven."Bhikkhus, just as whatever strenuous deeds are done …"

To be elaborated parallel to SN45.149–60. sn.v.136

1"Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci balakaraṇīyā kammantā karīyan"ti vitthāretabbaṁ.




2Strenuous, seeds, and nāgas,
The tree, the pot, the spike,
The sky, and two on clouds,
The ship, guest house, and river.

Balakaraṇīyavaggo ekādasamo.


2Balaṁ bījañca nāgo ca,
rukkho kumbhena sūkiyā;
Ākāsena ca dve meghā,
nāvā āgantukā nadīti.
