[102] "A plot (vatthu)" means the site of a park (ārāmavatthu) or the site of a monastery (vihāravatthu). "Goods situated on a plot" means goods deposited on a plot in four ways: situated in the ground, situated on the ground, situated in the air, or situated aloft (suspended). A bhikkhu with a mind bent on theft (theyyacitta), thinking, "I shall carry off the goods situated on the plot," searches for a companion or goes there: he commits an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). He touches them: an offense of wrong-doing. He makes them stir: a grave offense (thullaccaya). He moves them from their place: an offense entailing defeat (pārājika). He lays claim to the plot: an offense of wrong-doing. He causes doubt to arise in the owner: a grave offense. The owner, thinking, "It will not be mine," relinquishes responsibility: an offense entailing defeat. Pursuing legal proceedings, he defeats the owner: an offense entailing defeat. Pursuing legal proceedings, he is himself defeated: a grave offense. He shifts a stake, a rope, a fence, or a wall: an offense of wrong-doing. When one effort remains uncompleted: a grave offense. When that effort is completed: an offense entailing defeat.
