[335] **"Should tell" (āroceyya):** wishing to say to one not fully ordained (anupasampanna), "I attained the first jhāna," but saying, "I attained the second jhāna" — if the other understands, there is an offense (āpatti) of pācittiya; if he does not understand, an offense of dukkaṭa. **"Should tell":** wishing to say to one not fully ordained, "I attained the first jhāna," but saying, "I attained the third jhāna … the fourth jhāna … the emptiness liberation (suññata vimokkha) … the signless liberation (animitta vimokkha) … the undirected liberation (appaṇihita vimokkha) … the emptiness concentration (samādhi) … the signless concentration … the undirected concentration … the emptiness attainment (samāpatti) … the signless attainment … the undirected attainment … the three true knowledges (vijjā) … the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) … the four right strivings (sammappadhāna) … the four bases of spiritual power (iddhipāda) … the five faculties (indriya) … the five powers (bala) … the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga) … the noble eightfold path … the fruit of stream-entry … the fruit of once-returning … the fruit of non-returning … the fruit of arahantship; lust (rāga) has been given up by me, hatred has been given up by me, delusion has been given up by me — vomited forth, released, abandoned, relinquished, cast out, thoroughly cast out; my mind (citta) is rid of the hindrance of lust, my mind is rid of the hindrance of hatred, my mind is rid of the hindrance of delusion" — if the other understands, there is an offense of pācittiya; if he does not understand, an offense of dukkaṭa.
