avathArikai (Introduction)
To clarify the doubt “Whether stealing bhagavAn’s belongings will be undesirable for bhagavAn just as the other ones?” piLLai lOkAchAryar explains “not just stealing of his belongings will be undesirable for him, but even receiving such belongings from the person who stole them by requesting or by voluntary sharing will also be undesirable for him”.
sUthram 304
