Steya-doṣa-nirūpaṇa (On the Nature and Gravity of Theft) — within the Hayagrīva–Agastya Saṃvāda frame
ब्रह्मज्ञस्य दरिद्रस्य कृच्छ्रार्जितधनस्य च / बहुपुत्रकलत्रस्य तेन जीवितुमिच्छतः / तद्द्रव्यस्तेयदोषस्य प्रायश्चित्तं न विद्यते
brahmajñasya daridrasya kṛcchrārjitadhanasya ca / bahuputrakalatrasya tena jīvitumicchataḥ / taddravyasteyadoṣasya prāyaścittaṃ na vidyate
For the sin of stealing the wealth of a brahmajña who is poor, whose money is earned with hardship, who has many children and a wife and wishes to live by that very wealth—no prāyaścitta (expiation) is found.
