| a2 | ... (if one mixes... with it, then it is subjected to it.) This is a fault. If the medicine lasting for life is mixed with the [medicine] lasting for a week (he intends to use it) for [his] whole life. |
| a3 | ... It should be mixed with (flesh) in order to be eaten. The one who has a resting place provided with sugar and molasses should not take it as possession for [his] whole life. |
| a4 | ... This one thinks: 'I intend to tell a lie'. In telling he knows: 'I am telling a lie', and, afterwards he knows: 'I have told a lie'. |
| a4 | Who thinks: 'I will tell a lie,' [and who] in telling it, knows: 'I'm telling a lie' [and] afterwards knows: 'I have told a lie' |
| a5 | ... afterwards he does not know: 'It was not a lie'. In advance, he does not intend to tell a lie. And, suddenly, he tells (a lie), [and] in telling... |
| a6 | ... he knows: 'I am telling a lie'. Indeed, he says this thing, but this thing is not a lie. As this thing [is] memory... |
| b1 | ... if he says in thought ..., there is no offence. If a monk says in this way: 'I will give this you', and he does not give it, or: 'I will go with you', and he does not go. (If he says) ... this thing. |
| b2 | ... if he says: 'I will not eat more', and he eats again. 'I will not drink more', and he drinks again. Having hidden the memory, the approval, the insight... |
| b3 | ... the prescription about harsh speech. One blames him for the birth as a warrior, as a brahmin, as merchant, as a (scribe of) letters... |
| b4 | ... because of learning, because of a matter, because of illness, because of a mark, because of a sin, because of afflictions... |
| b5 | ... if he does not speak in spite about a monk except for that: 'This one is superior by birth... |
| b6 | ... if he does not speak in spite, there is no offence. |
