[15] Or he might say: 'Whereas some honored ascetics and brahmins, while living on food given in faith, remain engaged in low talk (tiracchānakathā) of such a kind as this — that is: talk of kings, talk of thieves, talk of great ministers, talk of armies, talk of dangers, talk of battles; talk of food, talk of drink, talk of clothes, talk of beds; talk of garlands, talk of scents; talk of relatives, talk of vehicles; talk of villages, talk of market towns, talk of cities, talk of countries; talk of women, talk of men, talk of heroes; street talk, talk at the well; talk of the departed; miscellaneous talk; tales about the world, tales about the sea; and talk of existence and non-existence in this way or that — the ascetic Gotama refrains from low talk of such a kind.' Thus indeed, bhikkhus, might an ordinary person (puthujjana) speak when speaking praise of the Tathāgata.
