**Tīkā:** - This Sutra describes the Maha-Mohaniya Karma that results from the use of language mixed with truth and falsehood. A person who knowingly speaks a mixture of truth and falsehood in an assembly and always increases strife, because mixed speech naturally increases strife, earns Maha-Mohaniya Karma.
