"True penetration of knowledge occurs not abruptly': step by step, and not in the manner of a jumping frog, does a person progress on the noble path. Having fulfilled Virtue first, then Concentration, and after that Wisdom, does one attain full sancti- tude (arahatta) in the Buddha's Doctrine"

Mp. (Ven. Dharmarama Nayakathera's Sinh. ed.), p. 762: Na ayatake~a

annapativedho ti mal).c.liikassa uppatitva gamanam viya aditova silaoural).adun

akatva arahattaoativ~dho nama natthi patipatiya pana silasamadhipannayo

piiretva va sakka arahattam pattun ti attho. *Ven. Soma Thera's translation.
