Äsavakkhayasutta The Ending of Defilements
āā¦ ÄsavÄnaį¹ khayÄya saį¹vattati. āMendicants, when immersion due to mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated it leads to the ending of defilements.ā ā¦ See SN 48.64 and notes. I believe this opening fragment is a separate discourse, and what follows is a distinct discourse combining the items of SN 54.17ā20.

Nonetheless, I believe this is due to faulty editing. This should start with, āMendicants, when immersion due to mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated it leads to ā¦ā, but this is not found in any edition I have seen.
