engaged in plundering.
When the great sages were carrying on their discussion in this way, they saw a dust storm arising from all directions. This storm was caused by the running of thieves and rogues, who were engaged in plundering the citizens.
Purport
Thieves and rogues simply await some political upset in order to take the opportunity to plunder the people in general. To keep thieves and rogues inactive in their profession, a strong government is always required.

Translation
While the sages were reflecting thus, great dust from plundering thieves running about arose in all directions.
While the sages were reflecting and sitting there, the dust arose.
