Gaṅgāpeyyāla untranslated

Gaṅgāpeyyāla. In the fifth book of the Saṁyuttanikāya a repetition under the name of Gaṅgāpeyyāla occurs several times. “Just as the Gaṅgā flows to the east, slides to the east, and tends to the east, even so, a monk who cultivates the bojjhaṅgas (SN.v.135, 137), the satipaṭṭhānas (196), the indriyas (239, 241), the padhānas (244), the balas (249, 251), the iddhipādas (290), and the jhānas (307), slides and tends towards Nibbāna.”
