A man, without consideration, makes a deep cut in the strong limbs of the camels, &c. (All as in section 45) (50)

A man, without consideration, steals the earrings, &c. (All as in section 47.) (52)

A man, without consideration, robs Sramanas or Brahmanas of their umbrella, &c. (All as in section 48.) (53)

A man, on seeing Sramanas or Brahmanas (whom he detests), degrades himself by various evil deeds. Either he gives them a slap with the open hand to turn them away , or he abuses them. And when the monk at the proper time calls (at his house on the begging-tour), he does not give him alms (but says): those who become Sramanas are the meanest workmen, men unable to support (their family), low-caste men, wretches, idlers!
