18.4

From 'The Śāstra says' to 'is false speech': This identifies the essential nature of the five acts of immediate retribution. Devadatta knew that the five practices were genuinely not the path, yet deceived ignorant monks by declaring them to be the path; therefore it is false speech. The other four are bodily karmas: causing the Tathāgata’s body to bleed is a preliminary application (prayoga), while the other three are fundamental acts (maula) of killing.
