For instance, the Sanskrit "(Mūla)Sarvāstivādin" Dīrgha-āgama contains a different version of the Poṭṭhapādasutta (DN 9), which was studied by D.M. Stuart in "“Thinking About Cessation” : the Pṛṣṭhapālasūtra of the Dīrghāgama in Context. 2013".

It allows to build a different perspective on nirodha-samāpatti, its place in Early Buddhist meditation and its relation to realization of the Four Noble Truth (see Stuart op.cit.)
Thanks.
