अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहितं च यत्।स्वाध्यायाभ्यसनं चैव वाङ्मयं तप उच्यते॥

anudvega-karaṁ vākyaṁ satyaṁ priya-hitaṁ cha yat svādhyāyābhyasanaṁ chaiva vāṅmayaṁ tapa uchyate

Speech that causes no agitation, that is truthful, pleasant, and beneficial, as well as the practice of studying the scriptures — this is called austerity of speech.
