[Tattvārtha-bhāsya 7.9], however has included revelation of ontological reality also as an aspect of truthfulness.'
11 Țhāņa 308 (4.349) gives the niksepa of satya: name, object, knowledge, knowledge and action according to truth. Thāņa 254 (4.102) distinguishes four types (aspects) of truth defined in terms of unequivocality or sincerity (ujjuyayā <rjuta) of (1) gesture, (2) speech, (3) mind, (4) seamless combination of the three, with the intention not to deceive.
12 See also Țhāņa 10.89.
13 JACOBI (1895: 160) translated bhāva-satyā as 'sincerity of the mind', and yoga-satyā as 'sincerity of acting'.
14 Māc 5.111: jana-vada sammada thavaņā ņāme rūve paduccasacce ya sambhāvaņa vavahāre bhāve opamma-sacce ya.
15 According to AņD 605, contextual interpretation (aņugama) of the meaning of a sutta should progress in the following sequence: 'Know that the characteristic features (of exposition) are sixfold, viz. (1) the (correct) utterance of the text (samhitā), (2) disjunction and parting (of words), (3) paraphrasing, (4) expounding of compound words, (5) anticipation of objections, and (8) establishment (of the correct meaning).'
16 Cf. Thāņa 4.349.
17 BHATT (1978: 14) emphasises that the niksepa in Pann 863 ‘has no execution in the canonical context.' The material is therefore likely to belong to 'post-canonical works from which it was taken before the canon acquired its present shape.' He lists similar passages in the canon and the commentary literature (BHATT 1978: 157).
