Being underground: the goods have been placed underground, buried, concealed. If, intending to steal, he thinks, “I’ll steal the underground goods,” and he seeks for a companion, seeks for a spade or a basket, or goes there, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he breaks a twig or a creeper growing there, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he digs the soil or heaps it up or removes it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he touches the container, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he makes it stir, he commits a serious offense. If he moves it from its base, he commits an offense entailing expulsion. If, intending to steal, he puts his own vessel into the container and touches something worth five <i lang='pi' translate='no'>māsaka</i> coins or more, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he makes it stir, he commits a serious offense. If he makes it enter his own vessel or takes it with his fist, there is an offense entailing expulsion. If, intending to steal, he touches goods made of string—an ornamental hanging string, a necklace, an ornamental girdle, a wrap garment, or a turban—he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he makes it stir, he commits a serious offense. If he grasps it at the top and pulls it, he commits a serious offense. If he rubs it while lifting it, he commits a serious offense. If he removes the goods even as much as a hair’s breadth over the rim of the container, he commits an offense entailing expulsion. If, intending to steal, he drinks—in a single action—ghee, oil, honey, or syrup having a value of five <i lang='pi' translate='no'>māsaka</i> coins or more, he commits an offense entailing expulsion. If he destroys it, throws it away, burns it, or renders it useless, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Being on the ground: the goods have been placed on the ground. If, intending to steal, he thinks, “I’ll steal the goods on the ground,” and he either searches for a companion or goes there, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he touches them, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If he makes them stir, he commits a serious offense. If he moves them from their base, he commits an offense entailing expulsion.
