Publisher references (not part of the sutta): See also: SN 35:23; SN 35:82; Dhp 1–2
Changes: Presentation only: original HTML markup reflowed into plain text; wording, numbering and source repetitions retained. No repetitions expanded.
Completeness: ABBREVIATED. Every source-unit character is preserved, including introductions, notes and verse structure. Thanissaro's collection-level note explicitly states that repetitions were cut: https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/about.html. This is evidence about the translation method, not an assertion that every individual unit contains an omission; no repetitions reconstructed.

The Mind
 Citta Sutta (SN 1:62)

“By what 	is the world led?
By what 	is it dragged around?
What 	is the one thing
	that has the all
	under its sway?”

“By the mind 	is the world led.
By the mind 	is it dragged around.
The mind 	is the one thing
	that has the all
	under its sway.”
