When, with six modes, a bhikkhu knowingly speaks falsehood, saying, "I have mastery over the first jhāna," there is an offence entailing defeat: before speaking, he knows, "I shall speak falsehood"; while speaking, he knows, "I am speaking falsehood"; having spoken, he knows, "Falsehood has been spoken by me"; he has misrepresented his view; he has misrepresented his belief; and he has misrepresented his approval.
When, with seven modes, a bhikkhu knowingly speaks falsehood, saying, "I have mastery over the first jhāna," there is an offence entailing defeat: before speaking, he knows, "I shall speak falsehood"; while speaking, he knows, "I am speaking falsehood"; having spoken, he knows, "Falsehood has been spoken by me"; he has misrepresented his view; he has misrepresented his belief; he has misrepresented his approval; and he has misrepresented his state.
