the 10 useful talks?

What is the Sutta reference for this?

These are the 10 useful talks a lay devotee must engage after refraining from 32 unskillful talks (Dethis katha) discussed in the previous post. These ten useful talks are ;

Having only few wishes & talks about on fewness of wishes ( Appichcha Katha)
Content himself/ herself & talks about on contentment ( Santuthti Katha)
Secluded himself/ herself & talks about on seclusion (paviweka Katha)
Aloof from society & talks about on aloofness from society (Asansagga Kata)
Energetic himself/ herself & talks on arousing energy (Weeryaramba Katha)
Attained to virtue himself/ herself & talks on the attainment of virtue (Seela Katha)
Attainment to concentration himself/ herself & talks on the attainment of the concentration (Samadhi Katha)
attained to wisdom himself/ herself & talks on the attainment of wisdom (Pragna Katha)
Attained to deliverance himself/ herself & talks on the attainment of deliverance (Vimukthi Katha)
Attained to the knowledge and vision of deliverance himself/ herself & talks on the attainment of the knowledge and vision of deliverance (Vimukthi Gnanadassana Katha)
