**Commentary:**
This sutra describes that a person in samadhi should first know the substance, field, time, and emotion before speaking, because speaking at the wrong time will inevitably lead to asamadhi. Therefore, knowledge of time is essential for speaking. Speaking loudly in a quiet dwelling at night is inappropriate, as it can cause asamadhi in many people. Speaking loudly after one prahar of the night will cause distress to people. This time is usually for people to sleep. Similarly, one should also know about the middle of the night, the western part of the night, and the day in the same way. For example, if one has to stay in a place where the ruler is sick, but due to some medical treatment, he falls asleep during the day; the doctors forbid talking loudly, now if a sadhu starts speaking loudly there, he will surely obtain the asamadhi-sthana. Similarly, speaking at the wrong time in samadhi-sthana, dhyana-sthana, and dharma-upadesha-sthana can also lead to self-contradiction and restraint-contradiction.

A person seeking samadhi should not use vulgar and rude language like householders.
It is proven that knowledge of words is necessary first. After that, knowledge of the right time for using words is also very necessary, so that asamadhi does not arise.
Now the sutrakar says in the next sutra that one should not use words that destroy samya-bhava.
