"Monks, a great thief possessed of eight factors quickly comes to ruin and does not last long.
Which eight?
He strikes one who does not strike, he takes completely, he kills a woman, he violates a girl, he plunders one gone forth, he plunders the royal treasury, he commits deeds very near, and he is not skilled in depositing.
Monks, a great thief possessed of these eight factors quickly comes to ruin and does not last long.
