In relation to the skill in speech, how ever, it can easy be different in objectives and if skilled one can fall fast onto the road to hell again, get caught (in this regard it's right of not desiring being hunted after by common people).

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

Ukkacita Sutta: Bombast

“Monks, there are these two assemblies. Which two? The assembly trained in bombast and not in cross-questioning, and the assembly trained in cross-questioning and not in bombast.

“And which is the assembly trained in bombast and not in cross-questioning?

“There is the case where in any assembly when the discourses of the Tathagata — deep, deep in their meaning, transcendent, connected with emptiness — are recited, the monks don't listen, don't lend ear, don't set their hearts on knowing them; don't regard them as worth grasping or mastering. But when discourses that are literary works — the works of poets, artful in sound, artful in expression, the work of outsiders, words of disciples — are recited, they listen, they lend ear, they set their hearts on knowing them; they regard them as worth grasping & mastering. Yet when they have mastered that Dhamma, they don't cross-question one another about it, don't dissect: 'How is this? What is the meaning of this?' They don't make open what isn't open, don't make plain what isn't plain, don't dispel doubt on its various doubtful points. This is called an assembly trained in bombast, not in cross-questioning.

“And which is the assembly trained in cross-questioning and not in bombast?

“There is the case where in any assembly when discourses that are literary works — the works of poets, artful in sound, artful in rhetoric, the work of outsiders, words of disciples — are recited, the monks don't listen, don't lend ear, don't set their hearts on knowing them; don't regard them as worth grasping or mastering.

There are surely many, as well as Suttas and stories, Nyom Hosking . Which specifically "situation" did he thought of.

Good, right, straight speech: such a person is valued, "expensive" and of course often put under a yoke, hunted after, therefore. People like the near and association with such a person and do all to catch him, of course. Surely someone without skills is not desired. (Maybe hunter here was to much understood as "killer" by Nyom Moritz .  They had been hunted to become someone valued worker, the elephants with good tusk)

Surely there is much worldly danger if good in things beloved by people. Not at least conceit if a speaker like a poet.

Which of the proverbs else is not clear?

I don't know about any Dhamma talks now.

But I still have not understood most of the Khmer sayings above.

៣. មនុស្សគេយកសំដី ដំរីគេយកភ្លុក ។
មនុស្សគេយកសម្តី ពាក្យចាស់លោកសំដៅ យកពាក្យសំដីប្រកបដោយគតិបណ្ឌិត ពាក្យសច្ចៈ ជាដើម ។
ដំរីគេយកភ្លុក  ពាក្យចាស់លោកពោលថា មួយតួខ្លួនដំរី គ្មានកន្លែងត្រង់ណា មានតំលៃស្មើនឹងភ្លុកវាទេ ។ ដោយសារយ៉ាងនេះហើយបានជា
ព្រានប្រម៉ាញ់ស្វែងរកដំរីណាដែលមានភ្លុកធំល្អ ។

 _/\_ _/\_ _/\_


3. Humans take on (work with) saying, elephants take on tusk.

"People take on sayings": old word Venerables used for aims, words of sayings objected to become wise, words leaded by truth.

"Elephants take n tusk", the old Venerables told that not part of the elephants body there is straight and even. When the tusk is straighten out it's said: Hunters are after elephants with good and big tusk.


* Johann : transl. draft added.

I do not understand the meaning here. For me it sounds maybe like meaning: Humans just talk (with their mouths, uselessly). Elephants work (with their tusks), doing something useful.

But maybe I have misunderstood this. It also does not sound appealing to have a "straight" tusk and thus becoming the prey of hunters.

I like this one:
៤. រនាបបាក់យករនាបជួស សម្តីហួសរកអ្វីជួសគ្មាន ។
4. Trellis broken, lift trellis to renew, sayings beyond repairing do not exist.

(A trellis like such here ? But not so important, whatever kind of structure, just some word I did not know.)

Sadhu Nyon Cheav Villa (nearly had overseen it, and also to translate)

On the topic, since some people might think that wise advocate silence, which is totally not the case:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

The story of the follower of Non-Buddhist Doctrines   

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (268) and (269) of this book, with reference to some non-Buddhist ascetics.

To those who offered them food or other things, those ascetics would say words of blessing. They would say, "May you be free from danger, may you prosper and get rich, may you live long," etc. At that time, the followers of the Buddha did not say anything after receiving something from their lay-disciples. This was because during the first twenty years after the Buddha's attainment of Buddhahood they were instructed to remain silent on receiving offerings. Since the followers of the Buddha were silent when ascetics of other doctrines were saying things which were pleasing to their disciples, people began to compare the two groups.

When the Buddha heard about this, he permitted the bhikkhus to say words of blessing to their disciples after receiving offerings. As a result of that, more and more people invited the followers of the Buddha for alms. Then, the ascetics of other doctrines remarked with disdain: "We adhere to the practice of the muni and keep silent, whereas the followers of Samana Gotama go about talking exuberantly in the eating places." On hearing those disparaging remarks, the Buddha said, "Bhikkhus! There are some who keep silent because they are ignorant and timid, and some who keep silent because they do not want to share their profound knowledge with others. Only one who has overcome evil is to be called a muni."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 268 Not by silence does one become a muni, if one is dull and ignorant. Like one holding a pair of scales, the wise one takes what is good and rejects what is evil.

Verse 269 For this reason he is a muni. He who understands both internal and external aggregates is also, for that reason, called a muni.

Generally two dwellings are adviced: "noble silence" (3. Jhana) or talk on Dhamma. So especially for one not having gained path, but also the customs of the Arahats, is engaging in Dhamma talks, in the ten kusala topics.

That's more understandable: "The "enjoying fish" is caught because of his mouth". Favorite of village-children with their simple bamboo fishing-rod, supplying the families meal.

Likewise those of lossy talk are easy food for any assembling to nurish on.

ត្រីកំភ្លាញ ( This fish is called Moonlight Gourami )
ជា​ប្រភេទ​ត្រី​រស់​នៅតាម​បឹងបួរ​មួយ​ប្រភេទ ដែលមាន​រាង​សំប៉ែត និង​មាន​ពុកមាត់​វែងៗ​។
នៅក្នុង​សភាព​ធម្មជាតិ​របស់​ត្រី​កំភ្លាញ គឺជា​ប្រភេទ​ត្រី ចូលចិត្ត​ប្រលែង​លេង​ជាមួយ​ទឹក ដែលជា​ទូទៅ គេ​តែង​និយាយថា​«​ត្រី​មាត់​» ឬ​«​ត្រី​ផុស​»​ជាដើម​ព្រោះតែ​បែបនេះ អ្នកនេសាទ អាចនេសាទ​ដោយ​មធ្យោបាយ​ផ្សេងៗ ដើម្បី​ចាប់​ត្រី​នេះ នៅក្នុង​ទឹក​បឹង ត្រពាំង ហើយ​គេ​ក៏​អាច​ដឹងបាន​ថា កន្លែង​ណា​សម្បូរ​ទៅដោយ​ត្រី​កំភ្លាញ​រស់នៅ​  ។ ត្រីកំភ្លាញក៏ងាប់អសារបង់ ។

ចាស់បូរាណបានប្រៀបធៀប ទៅនឹងមនុស្សខ្លះតែងតែវិនាសដោយសារសម្តីនិយាយឥតប្រយោជន៍របស់ខ្លួន ។

Those folk-sayings are not so easy to translate as very figural and requiring to know also certain ways. Good if each would be explained. There might be also certain word-plays behind.

កំភ្លាញ, for example, seems to be a kind of fish with long mouth, meaning of "long mouth" is also thinking deeply, speaking broad.

Maybe this fish? But there are also some without teeth, similar.

I, Brah Ang, ask for some time to bring up some translations from the Canon in Khmer language.

* Johann : transl. draft added.

No issue at all, how ever inspired. Atma thought lesser on Suttas but on poems, proverbs and folk-sayings. Tipitaka isn't that difficult, yet sometimes other sayings are easier to access for one not so familar.

ខ្ញុំកូណាបានរកឃើញសុភាសិតខ្មែរខ្លះៗ ដែលមានប្រជាប្រិយ ទាក់ទងនឹងការនិយាយ ដូចជា ៖

I, Brah Ang, have found some Khmer-proverbs which are popular in relation with speech, saying:

១. អណ្តាតជាអាទិកន្លង បានសុខទុក្ខផង ពីព្រោះអណ្តាត ។
1. The tongue is the source of overstepping; having happiness or suffering, as well, is because of the tongue.
២.​ មាត់មានគម្រប ដបមានឆ្នុក ។
2. The opening/mouth has a cover, a bottle a stopper.
៣. មនុស្សគេយកសំដី ដំរីគេយកភ្លុក ។
3. Humans lifting up words, elephants (great beings) tusks. (word play? ដំរីភ្លុក = person responsible for funeral/cremation)
៤. រនាបបាក់យករនាបជួស សម្តីហួសរកអ្វីជួសគ្មាន ។
4. Trellis broken, lift trellis to renew, sayings beyond repairing do not exist.
៥. បង្វិលអណ្តាតដប់ជុំសិន សឹមនិយាយ ។
5. To turn the tongue 10 tims around fist, and then speak.
៦. សម្តីជាឯក លេខជាទោ ។
6. Words are superior, numbers are secondary.
៧. នៅម្នាក់ឯងអោយប្រយ័ត្នគំនិត នៅជាមួយញាតិមិត្តអោយប្រយ័ត្នសំដី ។
Being alone be carefull on thoughts, being together with family, friend, be carefull on speech. 
៨. ដើរអោយមានបី ស្រដីអោយមានបួន ។
8. Walking is giving three (kindness? word-play?), speech gives one four? (made talking about the 3 bodily conducts, and four verbal)
៩. កំភ្លាញស្លាប់ព្រោះមាត់ ។
9. (certain) Fish dies because of the mouth.
