If the wild robbers, while observing other virtues, commit robberies, in respect of properties those deeds may be considered as innocent. The lives of thousands of creatures are protected when robbers follow such restraints.
यथा सद्भिः परादानमहिंसा दस्युभिः कृता। अनुरज्यन्ति भूतानि समर्यादेषु दस्युषु॥
