Re: Trans. & Philosophy of SN-1:18:5 [Ko.t.thita Sutta]

Eisel,

The PTS reference of S IV 162-5 is most likely the sutta in question. It is
the fifth sutta in the third vagga of the fourth 50 in the
Saa,laayatanasa.myutta (#35) in the fourth volume. This position could also
be indicated by SN 35:18:5 or 35:4:3:5. The PTS text has the sutta
numbered as 191.

I have been taking a look at this sutta.

Best wishes,
Jim
