Sūta said:: A person who is wicked in mind becomes one who has transgressed the bounds of good conduct by doing so (i.e. by stealing). He becomes one who has fallen down, from his holy rite. He shall repent for it again and again and perform the rite of Cāndrāyaṇa[3] for a year in accordance with the injunctions laid down in scriptures. So says Śruti. At the end of the year he shall eliminate all his sins. The Bhikṣu shall then alertfully repent and perform the rites.
