​

Answer 1

Answer:

False

it is a sanskrit word meaning virtue of non stealing....

Answer 2

The statement is false.

Asteya is a Sanskrit word meaning "non-stealing" in English. The Yoga Sutras' five yamas (ethical standards) include not stealing. In Indian philosophy and moral studies, it has been one of the ten types of self-control. The primary concept of asteya is that one should not take anything pertaining to another person, nor should one have the purpose or desire to steal anything belonging to some other person. This holds true for both words and thoughts, as well as deeds. Another perspective on asteya is to refrain from taking anything that wasn't freely given.
