Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
What are the observances for the vow of non-stealing (acaurya)? This ūٰ describes the observances.
Living in vacant or unoccupied places such as a cave, a hill, the hollow of a tree, etc., is śūԲⲹ屹. Living in places, such as a house vacated by others, is dz屹. Living in a manner that causes no hindrance to others is 貹DZ貹ǻ첹ṇa. Living on clean food, free from organisms as laid down in the Scripture, is ṣyśܻ. Not bickering with those following the same path with utterances like ‘this is mine,� or ‘that is yours,� is 屹ṃv岹. These are the five observances for the vow of non-stealing (acaurya).
