Ratnakarandaka-śrāvakācāra
All possessions of men are their external vitalities. Anyone who deprives others of their possessions, therefore, causes destruction of vitalities.

हिंसायाः स्तेयस्य च नाव्याप्तिः सुघट एव सा यस्मात् । ग्रहणे प्रमत्तयोगो द्रव्यस्य स्वीकृतस्यान्यैः ॥ १०४ ॥
There is no exclusivity between himsă and theft (wherever there is theft, there is himsă). When a person takes something that belongs to others, passion is the underlying cause and, therefore, himsă must take place.
Jain, Vijay K. (2012), "Shri Amritachandra Suri's Puruṣarthasiddhyupaya", p. 68-69.
