**309**

**They do not even think about these Vikatha and false doctrines for a moment in their hearts. Those who have attained wisdom in Dharma reject Vikatha in three ways. || 857 ||**
**Meaning:** The monks do not even think about Vikatha like stories of women, and false doctrines in their minds. Those who have attained wisdom in Dharma abandon Vikatha through their mind, speech, and body. || 857 ||
**They do not engage in curiosity, words that arouse lust, laughter, jokes, or striking someone with pride. || 858 ||**
**Meaning:** The monks do not engage in words that are not revealed from the heart, words that arouse lust, laughter, jokes, or words that deceive others, nor do they make others do these things. || 858 ||
