As for those well-to-do brahmins of Kosala — namely, the brahmin Caṅkī, the brahmin Tārukkha, the brahmin Pokkharasāti, the brahmin Jāṇussoṇi, or your father Todeyya — which is better for them: that they should speak speech in accordance with convention (sammucchā), or contrary to convention?"
"In accordance with convention, worthy Gotama."
"Which is better for them: that they should speak speech thoughtfully (mantā), or thoughtlessly?"
"Thoughtfully, worthy Gotama."
"Which is better for them: that they should speak speech after reflection (paṭisaṅkhāya), or without reflection?"
"After reflection, worthy Gotama."
"Which is better for them: that they should speak speech connected with benefit (atthasaṃhitaṃ), or unconnected with benefit?"
"Connected with benefit, worthy Gotama."
