Corasutta A Master Thief

ā€œAį¹­į¹­hahi, bhikkhave, aį¹…gehi samannāgato mahācoro khippaį¹ pariyāpajjati, na ciraį¹­į¹­hitiko hoti. ā€œMendicants, a master thief with eight factors is soon executed, and doesnā€™t have long to live.

Katamehi aį¹­į¹­hahi? What eight?

Appaharantassa paharati, anavasesaį¹ ādiyati, itthiį¹ hanati, kumāriį¹ dÅ«seti, pabbajitaį¹ vilumpati, rājakosaį¹ vilumpati, accāsanne kammaį¹ karoti, na ca nidhānakusalo hoti. He attacks unprovoked. He steals everything without exception. He kills a woman. He rapes a girl. He robs a monk. He robs the royal treasury. He works close to home. Heā€™s not skilled at hiding his booty.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, aį¹­į¹­hahaį¹…gehi samannāgato mahācoro khippaį¹ pariyāpajjati, na ciraį¹­į¹­hitiko hoti. A master thief with these eight factors is soon executed, and doesnā€™t have long to live.
