'Bhikṣu' is as above. If one obtains goods in various places, stealing an item worth five coins or exceeding five coins, it is a pārājika; an expedient means is a sthūlātyaya. If one takes less than five coins, it is a sthūlātyaya; if one does not obtain it, a duṣkṛta. If one instructs another to steal and take it, and that person obtains the goods, both commit a pārājika. If the one instructed takes a different item on his own, or takes an item from a different place, the taker commits the grave offense and the instructor commits a sthūlātyaya. If an emissary is sent to take goods without an intention to steal, the instructor commits a pārājika, while the emissary does not commit an offense. If one instructs a person to take goods, thinking he is sending him to steal, but the instructed person commits the grave offense on his own, the instructor commits no offense. Perceiving it as having an owner, one commits the grave offense; if one has doubt, a sthūlātyaya. For ownerless goods, perceiving them as having an owner or having doubt is a sthūlātyaya. The four assemblies including bhikṣuṇīs are all as in the precept above. Non-offenders are those who take with the perception that it was given, perception that it is one's own, perception that it is discarded rags (pāṃśukūla), perception of temporary taking, or with the perception of close friendship.
