SN24:19 Winds I translate the titles of the next three vaggas as in Be: Dutiyagamanavagga, Tatiyagamanavagga, Catutthagamanavagga. In Se, the third and fourth vaggas are similarly named, but the second is called Gamanavagga. Ee includes all the suttas after the first eighteen in a single chapter (Chapter II) subdivided into four sections called gamana. Ee applies the title Purimagamana to the first eighteen suttas of this chapter, and Dutiyagamana to the second eighteen; the third and fourth chapters are named as in the other eds., but without -vagga. In his introduction to this part (p. ix) Feer proposes to count the eighteen suttas of the Sotāpattivagga twice, and thus maintains that the whole saṃyutta consists of 114 suttas (18 + 18 + (3 x 26)). This, however, involves an unnecessary duplication (which Feer admits, to his puzzlement). It is thus best to follow the arrangement of this saṃyutta in Be and Se.

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, when what exists, by clinging to what, by adhering to what, does such a view as this arise: ‘The winds do not blow, the rivers do not flow, pregnant women do not give birth, the moon and sun do not rise and set but stand as steady as a pillar’?"
"Venerable sir, our teachings are rooted in the Blessed One … ."
2"When there is form, bhikkhus, by clinging to form, by adhering to form, such a view as this arises: ‘The winds do not blow … but stand as steady as a pillar.’ When there is feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, by clinging to consciousness, by adhering to consciousness, such a view as this arises: ‘The winds do not blow … but stand as steady as a pillar.’
3"What do you think, bhikkhus, is form … sn.iii.218 … consciousness permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir." …
"But without clinging to what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, could such a view as that arise?"
"No, venerable sir."
"Thus, bhikkhus, when there is suffering, it is by clinging to suffering, by adhering to suffering, [n.265] This is said because the five aggregates are dukkha. that such a view as this arises: ‘The winds do not blow … but stand as steady as a pillar.’"
