Nine Kinds of People Who Can’t Keep Secrets
“Venerable Nāgasena, there are these nine types of people who disclose and do not keep secret counsel. What are the nine? A person characterized by lust, a person characterized by anger, a person characterized by delusion, a fearful person, a person attached to sensual things, a woman, a drunkard, a eunuch, and a child.”
The elder said: “What is the fault with these?” “A person characterized by lust, Venerable Nāgasena, discloses and does not keep secret counsel, on account of lust; a person characterized by anger, venerable sir, discloses and does not keep secret counsel on account of anger; a deluded person discloses and does not keep secret counsel on account of delusion; a fearful person discloses and does not keep secret counsel on account of fear; a person attached to sensual things discloses and does not keep secret counsel for the sake of material pleasures; a woman discloses and does not keep secret counsel due to changeableness; a drunkard discloses and does not keep secret counsel because of addiction to drink; a eunuch discloses and does not keep secret counsel due to uncertainty; and a child discloses and does not keep secret counsel due to fickleness. It is said concerning this:
‘An infatuated person, a malicious one, a deluded one,
a coward, a materialist,
A woman, a drunkard, a eunuch,
and a child make nine.
These nine types of people in the world,
unsteady, fickle, wavering;
From these counsel that is hidden
quickly becomes revealed.’”

Bhavatīha—
‘Ratto duṭṭho ca mūḷho ca,
bhīru āmisagaruko;
Itthī soṇḍo paṇḍako ca,

Navete puggalā loke,

Etehi mantitaṁ guyhaṁ,
