Chapter 17 verse 15
“Words that do not cause distress, are truthful, inoffensive, and beneficial, as well as the regular recitation of the Vedic scriptures—these are declared as the austerity of speech.”
We
looked at the austerity of the body in the earlier verse. What is the austerity
of speech? Speaking the truth, that also doesn’t hurt the other person while
beneficial to them and all others in the world is considered austere. Of course
recitation of divine scriptures such as the Vedas is considered austere for
tongue.
