[100] Goods situated in a monastery (vihāraṭṭha): goods are deposited in a monastery in four locations — situated in the ground (bhummaṭṭha), situated on the surface (thalaṭṭha), situated in the air (ākāsaṭṭha), and situated aloft (vehāsaṭṭha). Thinking, "I shall carry off goods situated in a monastery," with a mind intent on theft (theyyacitta) he searches for a companion or goes there: an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). He touches it: an offense of wrong-doing. He makes it stir: a grave offense (thullaccaya). He moves it from its place: an offense entailing defeat (pārājika). He lays claim to the monastery: an offense of wrong-doing. He causes doubt to arise in the owner: a grave offense. The owner relinquishes responsibility, thinking, "It will not be mine": an offense entailing defeat. Pursuing litigation, he defeats the owner: an offense entailing defeat. Pursuing litigation, he is defeated: a grave offense.
