cessation of x (x-nirodha-gṅminī paṭipadṅ)—but as the path of practice that is fit to lead to the cessation of x (x-nirodha-sṅruppa-gṅminī paṭipadṅ). Finally, the use of the terms related to "acquisition" (upadi) and "entrenchment" (nivesana) is more typical of the Sutta Nipṅta than of the Saṃyutta Nikṅya. Whether this is a sign of the relatively early or late date of this sutta, or simply a sign that the Buddha was somewhat flexible in his vocabulary depending on his audience, no one knows. The connection between acquisition and stress is also highlighted in MN 105, which in addition contains another variation of the simile of the poisoned beverage. See also: DN 22; MN 105 - --> - - - -
