anṛtaṃ dvividham asatyaṃ visaṃvādaś ceti | tantradṛṣṭaśrutakṛtānām anyathā vacanam asatyam | prāgabhyupagatānām asaṃkīrtanaṃ visaṃvādaḥ
Having approached Devala, best of sages, / who was seated comfortably on the bank of the Indus, all the sages spoke these words:
Untruth is of two kinds, falsehood and breach of word: stating otherwise what one has learnt, seen, heard or done is falsehood; not acknowledging what one has earlier agreed to is breach of word.
