Six on requisites, and bag, Mattress, bamboo, on not coming out; And taking fresh food on trust, Another two on perceiving as one’s own. Seven on ‘We didn’t steal,’ And seven where they did steal; Seven where they stole from the Sangha, Another two with flowers. And three on taking messages, Three on taking gems past; And pigs, deer, fish, And he set a vehicle in motion. Two on a piece, two on wood, Discarded, two on water; Step by step, by arrangement, Another did not amount to it. Four handfuls at Sāvatthī, Two on kills, two about grass; Seven where they divided the belongings of the Sangha, And seven on non-owners. Wood, water, clay, two on grass, Seven on stealing the Sangha’s bedding; And one should not take away what has an owner, One may borrow what has an owner. Campā, and in Rājagaha, And Ajjuka at Vesālī; And Benares, Kosambī, And Sāgalā with Daḷhika.”
