The fifty-eighth precept: hiding another's robes or bowl. Three conditions: first, robes or bowl of a fully ordained bhikṣu; second, the intention to cause alarm; third, taking and hiding them constitutes the offense. The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā states: For robes of the five primary colors or impure robes, it is a duṣkṛta. For an unsmoked bowl, keys, or robes and bowls kept by making them pure, all incur pāyattika (according to this, the five primary colors were not permitted by the Buddha). Exceptions in the Vinaya: If one truly knows the other person's belongings and takes them to put them away after examining them thoroughly. If they are in the open, soaked and soiled by wind and rain, and one puts them away. If the owner of the articles is negligent by nature in putting them away, leaving clothing scattered about, and one hides them to admonish him. If one borrows another's robe and he does not retrieve it, so one puts it away. If on account of these robes or bowls there are conditions involving life or pure conduct, and one hides them—all are without offense (according to this, nowadays when the government does not permit private ordinations, if one hides robes and bowls while traveling, one should not incur an offense).
