''Monks, for the quittance of indolence
five things ought to be made to become.

of indolence.
Verily, monks, for the quittance of indolence
these five things ought to be made to become.'

[1] Indriya: — saddhindriya, etc.
[2] This formula recurs at A. i, 100, 299; ii, 257; iii, 278, 452; iv, 148, 349, 456; v, 310, in respect of 'two' dhammā: things, conditions or qualities and so forth to 'eleven.' Sometimes the editors of the roman texts show the formula as though one sutta were intended - e.g., A. i, 100 - and sometimes as above with the abbreviation mark. I venture to suggest that there are 4,250 suttas intended with this formula, thus: (17 X 10)X 1, 1, 3, 5, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, and 1 respectively, and that the statement at the end of A. v, p. 361, that the Aṇguttara Nikāya contains 9,557 - and this is confirmed in the Comys. AA. i, 3 and DA. i, 23, also Exp. i, 32 - is not far short of the mark, pace Hardy, A. v, p. vi.
