Na ākappasampanno hoti na vattasampanno. (AN iii 261)

’Bhikkhus, I will lay down an observance for bhikkhus who are leaving a residence, which should be observed by bhikkhus who are leaving a residence.’

Illustration: sampanno, perfectly

Beings who perceive [only] what can be expressed and are entrenched in what can be expressed, not profoundly understanding what is expressed, they come under the yoke of death;

Akkheyyasaññino sattā akkheyyasmiṁ patiṭṭhitā.
Akkheyyaṁ apariññāya yogamāyanti maccuno.

But if one profoundly understands what can be expressed, and does not think ‘I am the expressor,’ the mind’s liberation is achieved, the unsurpassed Peaceful State.

Akkheyyañca pariññāya akkhātāraṁ na maññati
Phūṭṭho vimokkho manasā santipadamanuttaraṁ.

Perfectly understanding what can be expressed, the Peaceful One delights in the Peaceful State.

When a bhikkhu is perfect in the aspiration [to abandon spiritually unwholesome factors and acquire spiritually wholesome factors], it is to be expected that he will develop and cultivate this noble eightfold path.

The parenthesis comes from these quotes:

1) the Blessed One praises the abandonment of spiritually unwholesome factors.

bhagavā akusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānaṁ vaṇṇeti. (SN iii 8)

2) the Blessed One praises the undertaking of spiritually wholesome factors.

bhagavā kusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ upasampadaṁ vaṇṇetī ti. (SN iii 9)
