**50]** A language that contradicts the path to liberation as described in the *Prajñāpanā Sūtra* is a *virādhanī* language. A language that contradicts the omniscient view, with the intention of establishing the opposite, such as "there is no soul," or "the soul is eternally solitary," or "the soul is eternally non-solitary," etc., is a *virādhanī* language. Or, a language that, while true, is also harmful to others, is a *virādhanī* language. Similarly, a language that contradicts the *ratnatraya* (three jewels) path to liberation is also a *virādhanī* language. A *virādhanī* language should be considered *mṛṣā* (false). A language that is both *pārādhanī* and *virādhanī* is *satyāmṛṣā* (partially true and partially false). A language that is partially *ārādhanī* (affirmative) and partially *virādhanī* is called *ārādhanī-virādhanī*. For example, if five children are born in a village or town, but someone says, "Ten children were born in this village or town today," then this language is *ārādhanī* in the sense that it is affirmative in the part that says "five children were born," but it is *virādhanī* in the sense that it is false in the part that says "ten children were born." Thus, according to the *sthūla vyavahāra nayā* (gross practical view), this language is *ārādhanī-virādhanī*. Such a language is *satyāmṛṣā*. A language that is neither *pārādhanī* nor *virādhanī* is *asatyāmṛṣā* (neither true nor false). A language that does not have the characteristics of *ārādhanī*, and which is not *virādhanī* because it does not cause harm to others or contradict the truth, and which is not *ārādhanī-virādhanī* because it is not partially affirmative and partially false, should be considered *asatyāmṛṣā*. Such a language is usually a command or an invitation, such as "Monk! Perform *pratikramaṇa*!" or "Write the *sthāṇḍila*!" etc.
**Various aspects of the *prajñāpanī* language**
**832.** "O Venerable One! Is the language 'cows,' 'deer,' 'animals,' or 'birds' a *prajñāpanī* language? Is this language not *mṛṣā*?"
**832.** "Yes, Gautama! The language 'cows,' 'deer,' 'animals,' or 'birds' is a *prajñāpanī* language. This language is not *mṛṣā*."
**833.** "O Venerable One! After this, the question is, is the language that is feminine, masculine, or neuter a *prajñāpanī* language? Is this language not *mṛṣā*?"
**833.** "Yes, Gautama! The language that is feminine, masculine, or neuter is a *prajñāpanī* language, and this language is not *mṛṣā*."
