________________ CHAPTER SEVEN someone's act of theft-that is encouraging someone to commit theft. 283 (2) To receive from someone what he has brought through stealing though without oneself rousing him to commit theft or approving his act of theft-that is receiving what has been brought by a thief. (3) The different kingdoms impose restrictions on the export and import of commodities or they levy some tax on them; now to violate regulations connected with all this-that is violating taxation regulations of the opposite kingdom.

Failures-of-conduct Connected with the Vrata of Continence1 : (1) Not being content with arranging the marriage of one's own children to do the same in the case of someone else's children either out of affection or with a view to reaping the beneficial fruit of kanyādāna or a girl's marriage (lit. making gift of a virgin) that is arranging someone else's marriage. (2) When someone else has reserved for oneself a prostitute or some such common woman for a certain period then to enjoy her during that very period-that is enjoying a woman kept by someone else.
