25. “Bhikkhus, these two individuals do not falsify or disfigure the words spoken by The Tathāgata. Which two?

“The one who speaks in detail while carefully elaborating on a discourse, given the fact that the Discourse does indeed require further elaboration and a detailed presentation, seeing that it is not explicit.

“And the other individual speaks on a Discourse without going into too many details, while presenting it as one that does not require an exhaustive presentation or elaboration, seeing that the discourse itself is already explicit, and thus self-explanatory, to begin with.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, these two individuals do not falsify or disfigure the words spoken by The Tathāgata.”
