ಉದ್ವೇಗವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡದ, ಸತ್ಯವಾದ, ಪ್ರಿಯವಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಹಿತಕರವಾದ ಮಾತು, ಹಾಗೂ ವೇದಗಳ ಅಧ್ಯಯನವನ್ನು ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡುವುದು – ಇವು ವಾಙ್ಮಯ ತಪಸ್ಸು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆ.
That speech which causes no pain, which is true, agreeable and beneficial; as well as the practice of study of the scriptures,-is said to be austerity of speech.
ಮಾತಿನಿಂದ ಆಚರಿಸುವ ತಪಸ್ಸು ವಾಙ್ಮಯ ತಪಸ್ಸು ಎನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಇತರರಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ತೊಂದರೆ ಅಥವಾ ನೋವನ್ನುಂಟುಮಾಡದ, ಸತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡ, ಕೇಳಲು ಇಂಪಾದ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕಾರಿಯಾದ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಆಡುವುದು ಈ ತಪಸ್ಸಿನ ಭಾಗ. ಇದರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ, ವೇದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಇತರ ಧರ್ಮಗ್ರಂಥಗಳನ್ನು ನಿಯಮಿತವಾಗಿ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಸಹ ವಾಙ್ಮಯ ತಪಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಶಾಂತಿಯನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮಿಕ ಪ್ರಗತಿಗೆ ಸಹಕಾರಿ.
The words of the man who practises the austerity of speech cannot cause pain to others. His words will bring cheer and solace to others. His words prove beneficial to all. The organ of speech causes great distraction of mind. Control of speech is a difficult discipline but you will have to practise it if you want to attain supreme peace. Nothing is impossible for a man who has a firm determination? sincerity of purpose? iron will? patience and perseverance.It is said in Manu Smritiसत्यं ब्रूयात् प्रियं ब्रूयात् न ब्रूयात् सत्यमप्रियम्।प्रियं च नानृतं ब्रूयात् एष धर्मः सनातनः।।One should speak what is true one should speak what is pleasant. One should not speak what is true if it is not pleasant nor what is pleasant if it is false. This is the ancient Dharma.Excitement Pain to living beings.Speech? to be an austerity? must form an invariable combination of all the four attributes mentioned in this verse? viz.? nonexciting or nonpainful? truthful? pleasant and beneficial if it is wanting in one or the other of these attributes? it cannot form the austerity of speech. Speech may be pleasant but it it is lacking in the other three attributes? it will no longer be an austerity of speech.
