If no one claims it, one should carry it about for seven days, calling out day after day. If no owner claims it, one should deliver this treasure to the king, the great ministers, or the prefectural and county magistrates. If the king, the great ministers, or the prefectural and county magistrates are persons of merit and virtue who do not take this property for themselves, it should later be used to protect and maintain the Buddha-dharma and the Saṃgha. This is termed not stealing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 74.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.74.21) - [Next: 74.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.74.23) - [Up: 74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.74) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.74.22) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.14.21) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.74.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.74.22) · Pramāṇa
