[93] "Goods situated in the air" (ākāsaṭṭha) means goods that have gone into the air: a peacock, a francolin, a partridge, a quail, a cloth (sāṭaka), a turban, or silver or gold that, breaking loose, falls.
If, with the intent to steal (theyyacitta), thinking, "I shall take away goods situated in the air," he searches for a companion or goes, there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). If he interrupts its going, there is an offense of wrong-doing. If he touches it, there is an offense of wrong-doing. If he makes it move, there is a grave offense (thullaccaya). If he moves it from its place, there is an offense entailing expulsion (pārājika).
