(Thereupon the ghost replies :) Well curbed was I in deeds, unbridled only in words, That is the reason why thou, Nārada, seest me in such dis- figurement. Therefore I tell thee, Nārada, as thou thyself hast seen it, Do no evil with thy mouth, that thou may'st not acquire a pig's mouth. - [Previous: v2.c19.s3.t2.102](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.102) - [Next: v2.c19.s3.t2.104](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.104) - [Up: v2.c19.s3.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.103](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.103) · Pramāṇa
