Sūta said:: Śruti says that there is no evil greater than stealing. What is mentioned as “stealing” is a great violence that is inseparable from it. What is named “wealth” constitutes the external vital airs (Prāṇas). Hence, he who takes away the wealth of anyone really takes away the vital airs of that person.
