I remember hearing somewhere that Nibbana is described as being "liberated from the aggregates" or Khandha-Vimutti, but I don't know where exactly that is said, and would like to be able to cite it. Is that in a Sutta, a Commentary, or somewhere else, and could someone cite the passage and possibly quote it for me please?
The non-doing of any evil,
The performance of what's skillful,
The cleansing of one's own mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching.

All that comes to mind is the kāyasakkhi (Body Witness). see
MN70 unless you are thinking of the Parinibbana of an arahant who is then released from the Khandha fully, I am not sure, the search didn't render anything in the canon anyway that I could immediately see.
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."
