[267] "Bhikkhus, and what is right speech (sammāvācā) that is accompanied by taints (āsava), partaking of merit (puññabhāgiyā), ripening in acquisitions (upadhivepakkā)? Abstinence (veramaṇī) from false speech, abstinence from divisive speech, abstinence from harsh speech, abstinence from idle chatter — this, bhikkhus, is right speech that is accompanied by taints, partaking of merit, ripening in acquisitions."
