七未受具戒人前自說過人法　惡宜發露。功德宜隱。摩求何邊。比丘向人自稱。未得言得初篇已說也。若實得自稱犯此墮法。沙彌白衣輕躁不定。好忘宣傳。難以實告。又於白衣求名利。若向說實俱犯此戒。說得四道禪定三昧安般不淨。見天龍八部向人說悉犯墮。實若持戒向人說突。若見旋風土鬼向人說亦犯突。受法禪師具戒同意向說無罪也。

> Seventh: Speaking of one's superhuman states before an unordained person.  
> Evil ought to be disclosed; virtue ought to be concealed. Monks on the banks of the Vaggumudā boasted to people; saying one has attained what has not been attained has already been explained in the first section. If one has actually attained it and boasts of it, one commits this pāyattika offense. Novices and white-robed laypeople are frivolous and unsettled, prone to forget and gossip, so it is difficult to tell them the truth; furthermore, one might seek fame and profit from the white-robed. If one speaks of what is true to them, both commit this precept. Speaking of having attained the four paths, dhyāna, samādhi, ānāpāna, or the contemplation of impurity, or speaking to people of having seen the devas, dragons, and the eight classes—all constitute an offense of pāyattika. Speaking to people of truly maintaining the precepts is a duṣkṛta. Speaking to people of having seen whirlwinds or earth ghosts is also a duṣkṛta. There is no fault in speaking to an instructor dhyāna master who is fully ordained and like-minded.
