3. Bhumyālîka ; falsehoods relating to footless property, such as ground, or goods.
4. Nyāsa-ninhava ; ineans denying that you have received it when money or other deposit has been left with you.
5. Kūta-sākshyain ; means giving false evidence, either in or out of court.
These five kinds are sthula or gross forms of falsehood, as distinguished from subtle falsehoods.
Four Classes of Falsehoods.
1. The denial of a fact. To deny that a thing
exists. 2. The affirmation of that which does not
exist. 3. The thing may be one thing and you call
it another. You may call a cow a horse.
4.
A statement that is injurious to others ; either to the person to whom it is made, or to other persons. Such as “Go and steal"; "Well, Mr. blind man, how do you do”. To make a statement (even a true one) which is injurious is false or wrong when made without proper right cause. Also under this kind of falsehood can be classed false names “ You silly
goose".
