वह भविष्य में अवश्य आयेगा अथवा नहीं आयेगा । वह यहाँ भी आया था अथवा वह यहाँ नहीं आया था। वह यहाँ अवश्य आता है अथवा कभी नहीं आता । वह यहाँ अवश्य आयेगा या कभी नहीं आयेगा । " ( इस प्रकार की एकान्त निश्चयात्मक भाषा का व्यवहार साधु-साध्वी को नहीं करना चाहिए ।)
PRUDENCE OF LANGUAGE
180. A bhikshu or bhikshuni should try to know about misconduct related to speech (that which has been avoided by past seers) by listening and understanding these codes of conduct. The language used under influence of anger, that used under influence of pride, that used under influence of deceit, that used under influence of greed and harsh language uttered with or without awareness (of faults of others) are all sinful and so proscribed for ascetics. Ascetics should consciously or prudently avoid such sinful and reprehensible speech.
That bhikshu or bhikshuni should consciously avoid language conveying certainty (about future) as well as uncertainty. (If an ascetic has gone to collect alms, it should not be said about him that—) “He will certainly return with food or without food. He will certainly come after eating or without eating. I am sure he came or did not come. I am sure he comes or does not come. He is sure to come or not come." He also came here or did not come here. He comes here for sure or never comes. He will certainly come here or will never come. (Ascetics should not use such language conveying absolute certainty.)
विवेचन - प्रस्तुत सूत्र में मुख्यतया छह प्रकार की सावद्य भाषा का प्रयोग साधु के लिए निषिद्ध है - ( 9 ) क्रोध से, (२) अभिमान से, (३) माया-कपट से, (४) लोभ से, (५) किसी के दोष जानते या अनजान में ही कठोरतापूर्वक, और (६) भूत, भविष्य, वर्तमान काल सम्बन्धी निश्चयात्मक भाषा । जिस विषय में वस्तु तत्त्व का पूर्ण निश्चय न हो, उस विषय में निश्चयात्मक वचन नहीं बोलना चाहिए ।
Elaboration-This aphorism contains censure of six types of sinful speech for ascetics - - ( 1 ) inspired by anger, ( 2 ) inspired by conceit, आचारांग सूत्र (भाग २)
