Steya-doṣa-nirūpaṇa (On the Nature and Gravity of Theft) — within the Hayagrīva–Agastya Saṃvāda frame
ततो देवद्विजातीनां हेमरत्नापहारकम् / यो हन्यादविचारेण सो ऽश्वमेधफलं लभेत्
tato devadvijātīnāṃ hemaratnāpahārakam / yo hanyādavicāreṇa so 'śvamedhaphalaṃ labhet
Thereafter, whoever, without hesitation, slays the thief who steals gold and jewels belonging to the Devas and the twice-born, attains the fruit of the Aśvamedha sacrifice.
