## Chapter Three: Non-Stealing and Avoidance of Violence

**Non-stealing (Asteya)** involves refraining from theft. There are five types of violence (Aticharas):

1. **Chora-prayoga:** The act of stealing oneself, instigating someone else to steal, or approving of another's theft.
2. **Chora-artha-adanam:** Accepting stolen goods without being instigated or approving of the theft.
3. **Vilopam:** Taking something that is not rightfully yours, even if it is not considered theft according to the law. This also includes crossing borders with goods that are prohibited.
4. **Viruddha-rajya-atikramam:** Crossing borders with goods that are prohibited in the other kingdom. This refers to taking goods of low value in exchange for goods of high value in another kingdom.
5. **Sadrisha-sanmishram:** This refers to the act of mixing similar substances, such as mixing oil with ghee, or using artificial gold to deceive others.
6. **Heena-adhika-vinimanam:** This refers to the act of exchanging goods of unequal value, such as giving someone something of lesser value in exchange for something of greater value.

**Avoiding Violence (Ahimsa)**

The text then explains the nature of the vow of non-violence (Brahma-virati-anu-vrata) by stating:

"One who is afraid of sin does not approach another's wife, nor does one encourage others to do so. This avoidance of another's wife is also called contentment with one's own wife."

**Explanation:**

* The text states that one who is afraid of sin (paapa-bhitih) will not approach another's wife, whether she is married or not.
* It also states that one will not encourage others to approach another's wife.
* This avoidance of another's wife is also called contentment with one's own wife (svadara-santosha-nama).

**Note:** The text uses the term "paradara" (another's wife) to refer to any woman who is not one's own wife. This is a Jain term that is used to emphasize the importance of respecting the boundaries of others.
