Kings: kings of the earth, kings of a region, rulers of islands, rulers of border areas, judges, government officials, or whoever metes out physical punishment—these are called “kings”. A thief: whoever, intending to steal, takes anything that has not been given, having a value of five <i lang='pi' translate='no'>māsaka</i> coins or more—he is called “a thief”. Would beat: would beat with the hand, the foot, a whip, a cane, a cudgel, or by mutilation. Would imprison: would imprison by constricting with a rope, by constricting with shackles, by constricting with chains, by constricting to a house, by constricting to a city, by constricting to a village, by constricting to a town, or by guarding. Would banish: would banish from a village, from a town, from a city, from a country, or from a district. You’re a bandit, you’re a fool, you’ve gone astray, you’re a thief: this is a rebuke. He too: this is said with reference to the preceding offense entailing expulsion. Is expelled: just as a fallen, withered leaf is incapable of becoming green again, so too is a monk who, intending to steal, takes an ungiven <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pāda</i> coin, the value of a <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pāda</i>, or more than a <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pāda</i>, not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic. Therefore it is said, “he is expelled.”
