statement should be subtle like a little salt added to the flour. It is because the trade cannot flourish in case a person totally adopts truth. A businessman has to say that a thing costs him 50 paise while actually it cost 40 paise in order to sell that article. Such a false statement falls in the category of subtle falsehood, but to say that it costs him 80 paise while it costs 40 paise, or to say that relevant article is a true one while it is artificial (or a copy of the true one) or to adulterate a thing for selling and pronouncing that it is pure-all these statements fall in the category of gross falsehood. By such statement the Shravak maligns his second Vow.'
In respect of Second Anuvrat of a Shravak five gross falsehood have been mentioned. They are (1) While engaging his daughter or the son as the case may be or that of his near relatives, a shravak should disclose the real thing about them. He should not conceal their merit and demerits. To pronounce as meritorious one who is demeritorious and vice versa is gross falsehood. By such statement, the wedded life of that couple becomes nasty.
(2) To tell a lie about milch cattle such as cow. For instance if the cow concerned gives only a little milk, to say that it produces very much milk. Such a statement leads to mistrust. Simultaneously the life of the animal sold may also become troublesome.
(3) To make false statement about land - To tell about barran land as fertile for selling it. Due to such a statement the buyer feels great mental tension. So it is a fault of the seller.
(4) To make false statement about the article pawned - To deny the cash pawned a person without the presence of any witness or when the dispute is between two parties, to make a statement as a witness (while actually he was not a witness to it) in order to cause gain to one of them.
(5) To appear as a witness and make a false statement.
A shravak should be coutious about abovesaid five faults.
The nature of five artichars of the second major vow has already been clearly mentioned.
It should be kept in mind that the Shravika (female devotee) should say *Svabharta-mantbheya' instead of 'sadar-mantbhey'. It means that she says in respect of her husband.
