[191] Bhikkhus, possessed of eight factors, a great thief does not quickly come to ruin and endures for a long time. What eight? He does not strike one who does not strike back; he does not take goods without leaving a remainder; he does not carry off a woman; he does not violate a young girl; he does not plunder one gone forth (pabbajita); he does not plunder the royal treasury; he does not do his work too close to home; and he is skilled at hiding his hoard. Bhikkhus, possessed of these eight factors, a great thief does not quickly come to ruin and endures for a long time.
