Translator’s notes

  1. From here through to SN 43.11 we find the seven sets of practices later renowned as the 37 “qualities on the side of awakening” (bodhipakkhiyadhammā). These are repeated with more details at SN 43.12. These also form the main topics of the Mahāvagga of the Saṁyutta, to which I give references.
