Also, the Sarvāstivāda Treatise says: “Regarding not speaking falsely: if one explains the Dharma, discusses, or conveys words on any right and wrong, do not claim oneself to be right. Constantly let it be attributed to a source, and then there will be no fault. Otherwise, an axe is in one's mouth.” Furthermore, the Daśabhāṇavāra-vinaya says: “If one tells a person of noble clan that they are base, or tells a two-eyed person that they have one eye, both incur [the offense of] false speech. Furthermore, telling a one-eyed person ‘You are a blind person’ incurs the fault of slighting and disturbing others.”
