I have not read 100% of the Pali suttas. I am only aware of the term "saupādisesā" in the following sutta:
> *“Bhikkhus, there are these two Nibbāna-elements. What are the two? The Nibbāna-element with residue left and the Nibbāna-element with no
> residue left.*
>
> *“What, bhikkhus, is the Nibbāna-element **with residue/fuel (saupādisesā)** left? Here a bhikkhu is an arahant, one whose taints are destroyed, the holy life
> fulfilled, who has done what had to be done, laid down the burden,
> attained the goal, destroyed the fetters of being, completely released
> through final knowledge. However, his five sense faculties remain
> unimpaired, by which he still experiences what is agreeable and
> disagreeable and feels pleasure and pain. It is the extinction of
> attachment, hate, and delusion in him that is called the
> Nibbāna-element with residue left.*
>
> *“Now what, bhikkhus, is the Nibbāna-element with no residue left? Here a bhikkhu is an arahant … completely released through final
> knowledge. For him, here in this very life, all that is felt/experienced (*sabbavedayitāni*), not being delighted in, will be become cold (siti). That, bhikkhus, is
> called the Nibbāna-element with no residue left.*
>
>*Iti 44*
Based on the Pali suttas - without quoting any views of commentaries or scholars - what teachings exist in the Pali suttas that might explain the meaning of "*Nibbāna-element with residue (saupādisesā) left*"?
