Hi,

In Peter Masefields translation of the Udana commentary there is>

"He is the 'Perfectly Self-Enlightened One'(Sammaasambuddho) on
account of its being to all dhammas that he has perfectly(sammaa) and
by himself(saama.m) become enlightened (buddhattaa)- this is, in this
connection, (merely a) brief (account); the details can, however, be
got from the description of the 'Recollection of the Buddha' in the
Visuddimagga."
