contradiction. Cf. MĀLVANIYĀ (1971: 325) on the role of
the (situational) conditions of truthfulness in the Pannavaņā. 91. Conversely: -[1.] The monks and nuns may not use the following six forbidden forms of speech: lying, sneering, insult, coarse speaking, worldly speech, or speech renewing atoned matters. 2. There are six cases of idle talk about right conduct: of speaking rashly in relation to others, of damaging living creatures, of untruthfulness, of forbidden appropriation, of a jade, a eunuch, or a slave. Whoever uses those six kinds of idle talk, without being able to prove them fully, ranks as one who has committed the transgression himself (KS 6.1).
92 Cf. BROWN-LEVINSON (1978: 134 ff.). In PannȚ folio 259 B cited by MĀLVANIYĀ (1971: 212) the positive karmic consequences of not killing are expressed in this way; avoiding commandments of the form do not kill' for example by saying: “Those who refrain from killing living beings live long and enjoy good health in the next birth).'
93 See also AUSTIN (1962: 4) on disguising a performative utterance as a descriptive or constative statement.
94 Cf. GERT's (1973) ‘minimal ethic'.
