TRANSLATION

Not only the performer of the theft but also anyone who assists him, instigates the crime, or simply approves of it must also share the reaction in the next life. According to their degree of participation, they each must suffer a proportionate consequence.


PURPORT

Stealing paraphernalia meant for worshiping the Supreme Lord or His authorized representatives should be avoided at all costs.


Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Eleventh Canto, Twenty-seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled "Lord Kṛṣṇa's Instructions on the Process of Deity Worship."
