Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

2: The Book of the Twos

1"Bhikkhus, these two do not misrepresent the Tathāgata. Which two? One who explains a discourse whose meaning requires interpretation as a discourse whose meaning requires interpretation, and one who explains a discourse whose meaning is explicit as a discourse whose meaning is explicit. These two do not misrepresent the Tathāgata."

1"Dveme, bhikkhave, tathāgataṁ nābbhācikkhanti. Katame dve? Yo ca neyyatthaṁ suttantaṁ neyyattho suttantoti dīpeti, yo ca nītatthaṁ suttantaṁ nītattho suttantoti dīpeti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, dve tathāgataṁ nābbhācikkhantī"ti.
