Anyone know where I kind find the following suttas from the Sutta Nipata online?
Snp 1.9, 2.5 & 3.4.
Much obliged,
Daniel

The names of the Suttas would be useful:
1. Urāga Sutta?
9.
Hemavata Sutta2.5 Suciloma Sutta?
3.4 Sundarikabhāradvāja Sutta?

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

“The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are. To follow a path with heart, we must understand the whole process of making war within ourselves and without, how it begins and how it ends."
