May my such sins be dissolved

Third anuvrat is to refrain from gross theft, such as, to steal buried treasure, to open someone’s package, to open someone’s lock by another key, knowingly take someone’s belonging.
I vow not to take someone’s belonging without permission, apart from insignificant things of trifle value, as long as I live; by two acts i.e. I do not steal personally and I do not ask others to steal; by three means i.e. mind, speech & body.
Of the vow to give up stealing, there are five blemishes, which are worth knowing but not worth doing, I enumerate them as they are :
To buy stolen goods
To help a thief
To do anything against the state or forbidden by law
By wrong weighing or wrong measurement (in trade)
Supplying inferior goods after showing superior variety
Of the above five, if any blemish has occurred, then may my such sin be dissolved.
