First, there may be malicious speech that is neither false speech nor harsh speech: as when a person transmits this person's words to that person; because he speaks truthfully, it is not false speech; because he speaks with gentle words, it is not harsh speech; yet because of the mind to separate them, it is called malicious speech. Second, there may be malicious speech that is false speech but not harsh speech: as when a person transmits this person's words to that person; because of the mind to separate, it is malicious speech; because he speaks falsely, it is false speech; because he speaks with gentle words, it is not harsh speech. Third, there may be malicious speech that is harsh speech but not false speech: as when a person transmits this person's words to that person; because of the mind to separate, it is malicious speech; because he speaks with coarse words, it is harsh speech; because he speaks truthfully, it is not false speech. Fourth, there may be malicious speech that is both false speech and harsh speech: as when a person transmits this person's words to that person; because of the mind to separate, it is malicious speech; because he speaks falsely, it is false speech; because he speaks with an evil voice, it is harsh speech. Apart from this, false speech and harsh speech each likewise form a catuṣkoṭi. Frivolous speech alone is never separate from each of them, and so is not stated separately.' Therefore the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra says: 'The other three verbal karmas may be combined or separate; the one category of frivolous speech is necessarily inseparable.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 76.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76.59) - [Next: 76.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76.61) - [Up: 76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.76.60) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.15.27) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76.60) · Pramāṇa
