सदाकाल से परिचित, आत्मा के साथ लगा हुआ-जीवों का पीछा करने वाला और परिणाम में अन्त में दुःखदायी है। यह तीसरा अधर्मद्वार-अदत्तादान ऐसा है।
60. Sudharma Swami told his disciple Jambu Swami, O Jambu ! The third gateway of impiety (adharma) is stealing (adattadan). Adatt means that which has not been given or offered and adaan means to take a thing belonging to others. The adattadan is by nature stealing a thing belonging to another person. It causes pain. It is as dreadful as death. It is bad as it is a sin. It causes dejection to others. Greed, the dangerous attachment to wealth, is at its root. It leads one to odd time and place - mountain or thick forest. In other words the thieves are always in search of odd times and odd places. It is in the conduct of those whose desires never fulfil. It creats such a mental attitude in them which leads them to mean state of existence. Stealing is the cause of disrespect. It is followed by uncivilised people. The civilised, cultured people never adopt it. It is done by thieves who at the time of festivals search the people who are in unconscious condition due to intoxicating drink and are asleep or not well aware. Those thieves are ready to create disturbance in the mind of others and to kill them causing a disturbing environment. It is completed in a cruel manner, which is devoid of compassion. It is checked by state officials, the security guards, the police and the like. It is always condemned by cultured noble people. It often becomes the cause of creating friction among friends and relatives. It increases feelings of attachment and hatred. It is primarily the cause of wars, disturbances, quarrels, fights, exchange of hot words resulting in death of many human beings. In the end it results in repentance. It increases the possibility of fall in bad state of existence. It causes birth and re-birth again and again in the mundane world. It is well known since long. It is attached to the soul, follows it and ultimately causes trouble. This is the nature of adattadan--the third gateway of inflow of karmas.
विवेचन : जो वस्तु वास्तव में अपनी नहीं है परायी है-उसे उसके स्वामी की स्वीकृति या अनुमति के बिना ग्रहण कर लेना अपने अधिकार में ले लेना अदत्तादान कहलाता है।
शास्त्र में चार प्रकार के अदत्त कहे गये हैं-(१) स्वामी द्वारा अदत्त, (२) जीव द्वारा अदत्त, (३) गुरु द्वारा अदत्त, और (४) तीर्थंकर अदत्त। इन चारों में से प्रत्येक के द्रव्य, क्षेत्र, काल और भाव की अपेक्षा चार-चार भेद होते हैं। अतएव सब मिलकर अदत्त के १६ भेद हैं। ___ महाव्रती साधु और साध्वी सभी प्रकार के अदत्त का पूर्ण रूप से तीन करण और तीन योग से त्याग कर चुके होते हैं। वे कोई भी वस्तु उसके स्वामी की अनुमति बिना ग्रहण नहीं करते हैं। गृहस्थों में श्रावक और
