## Chapter 46:
**Rahasya-Abhyakhyan**
The term "Rahasya" means secrecy or a secret matter. "Rahasya-Abhyakhyan" refers to suddenly revealing a secret matter. This is not permissible for an Upasaka (Jain practitioner). Doing so weakens their vows.
Another meaning of "Rahasya-Abhyakhyan" is to accuse someone of conspiracy or other wrongdoing in secret. For example, if individuals are privately discussing something, and someone accuses them of plotting without any evidence, this falls under this transgression.
It's important to note that this transgression only applies when the accusation is made suddenly, without thought or consideration. If the accusation is made intentionally and with malice, it becomes an "Anachaar" (grave transgression) and breaks the vows.
**Swadaramantra-Bhed**
This refers to revealing personal, family, or social secrets. Some matters are meant to be shared only between two individuals, while others can be shared with the entire community. The relationship between a husband and wife is the most intimate. They have their own private conversations and thoughts. If a husband reveals a secret of his wife that should not be disclosed, he commits the transgression of "Swadaramantra-Bhed." This is also ethically wrong. The person whose secret is revealed feels hurt by the breach of trust and may feel ashamed of their vulnerability.
**Mrish-Upadesh**
This refers to giving false advice or opinions. It means giving advice about something whose truth, falsehood, benefit, or harm is unknown to the person giving the advice, but is actually false. This transgression also includes encouraging someone to do something that is known to be false or harmful. If someone intentionally encourages others to do something they know is wrong, it becomes an "Anachaar" and breaks the vows. However, if someone believes something to be true or beneficial, even if it is actually false, and encourages others based on their good intentions, it is not considered a transgression.
**Kood-Lekhakarana**
This refers to creating false documents, forging signatures, etc. This is a transgression only if the Upasaka does it unintentionally, out of ignorance, or unwillingly. If someone intentionally creates a forged document, uses a fake seal or stamp, or forges a signature to deceive others, it becomes an "Anachaar" and breaks the vows.
