AN.5.86. Paṭisambhidāpattasutta ("Attaining the Methods of Textual Analysis")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“A senior mendicant with five qualities is dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired. What five? They have attained the textual analysis of meaning, text, terminology, and eloquence. And they are skilled and tireless in a diverse spectrum of duties for their spiritual companions, understanding how to go about things in order to complete and organize the work. A senior mendicant with these five qualities is dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired.”
