In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation惭颈迟丑测腻惫腻诲补 (啶た啶ム啶ぞ啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to 鈥渇alse deliberations and discussions鈥�, and is used by the evil-minded Dak峁 to describe the Brahmins that walked out on his sacrifice, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.2.27. Accordingly as Brahm膩 narrated to N膩rada:鈥斺�淸...] when the sage Dadh墨ci and others staged a walkout, the evil-minded Dak峁, inimical to 艢iva, said mocking at them.:鈥斺�榌...] They are slow-witted and senseless. They are rogues indulging in false deliberations and discussions (尘颈迟丑测腻惫腻诲补). They are out of the Vedic circle. These men of evil conduct shall be eschewed from sacrificial rites鈥欌��.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra惭颈迟丑测腻惫腻诲补 (啶た啶ム啶ぞ啶掂ぞ啶�) refers to the 鈥渢he four kinds of evil speech鈥� according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter X.
The four 尘颈迟丑测腻惫腻诲补s are:
- lies (尘峁涐梗腻惫腻诲补),
- scandal (辫补颈艣耻苍测补),
- harmful speech (辫腻谤耻峁补),
- frivolous speech (蝉补峁僢丑颈苍苍补辫谤补濒腻辫补).
Bodhisattvas speak with a smiling face (smitamukha) because they have (among others) avoided the four kinds of evil speech (尘颈迟丑测腻惫腻诲补). Some stanzas say:
The person who avoids the four sins of speech;
Lying (尘峁涐梗腻惫腻诲补), slander (辫补颈艣耻苍测补),
Harmful speech (辫腻谤耻峁补) and frivolous speech (蝉补峁僢丑颈苍苍补辫谤补濒腻辫补)
Gains a magnificent reward
The kind, gentle person who seeks the Path,
Wishes to save beings,
And avoids the four sins of speech
Is like a harnessed horse.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
