Let the king put to death those who forge royal edicts ; 10. And those who forge (private) documents ; 11, Likewise poisoners, incendiaries, robbers, and killers of women, children, or men; 12. And such as steal more than ten Kumbhas of grain, 13. Or more than a hundred Mashas of such things as are usually sold by weight (such as gold and silver); 14. Such also as aspire to sovereignty, though being of low birth; 15. Breakers of dikes; 10. The use of the particle 4a indicates that this rule includes those who corrupt the king’s ministers, as stated by Manu, IX, 232. (Nand.) 11. Nand. infers from the use of the particle 4a, and from a passage of Katyayana, that false witnesses are also intended here. 12. Nand. here refers 4a to women who have committed a capital offence, as mentioned by Yagfavalkya (II, 278). A Kumbha is a measure of grain equal to twenty Dromas, or a little more than three bushels and three gallons. Nand. mentions, as the opinion of some, that r Kumbha = 2 Drowas. For other computations of the amount of a Kumbha, see Colebrooke’s Essays, I, 533 seq. 13. Regarding the value of a Masha, see IV, 7, 11. 15.

If he places himself on the same seat with his superior, he shall be banished with a mark on his buttocks. 21. If he spits on him, he shall lose both lips; 22, If he breaks wind against him, his hindparts ; 23. If he uses abusive language, his tongue. . 24. If a (low-born) man through pride give instruction (to a member of the highest caste) concerning his duty, let the king order hot oil to be dropped into his mouth. 25. If a (low-born man) mentions the name or caste of a superior revilingly, an iron pin, ten inches long, shall be thrust into his mouth (red hot). 26. He who falsely denies the sacred knowledge, the country, or the caste (of such), or who says passage of Manu (IX, 280), that robbers who forcibly enter the king’s treasury, or the arsenal, or a temple, are likewise intended here. 17. In the case to which this Sftra refers, the villagers may satisfy the demands of the robbers with impunity, as they are obliged to do so out of regard for their own safety. (Nand.) 20. The particle 4a indicates here that if he urines against a superior his organ shall be cut off. (Nand.) See M.VIII, 282.

He shall be fined a hundred KarshApazas for defaming a Guru. 29. He shall pay the highest amercement for imputing to another (a great crime) entailing loss of caste; 30. The second amercement for (imputing to another) a minor offence (such as the slaughter of a cow); 31. The same for reviling a Brahmaza versed in the three Vedas, or an old man, or a (whole) caste or corporation (of judges or others); 32. For reviling a village or district, the lowest amercement ; 33. For using insulting language (such as ‘I shall visit your sister,’ or ‘I shall visit your daughter’), a hundred K4rshapamas ; 34. For insulting a man by using bad language regarding his mother (such as ‘I shall visit your mother’ or the like speeches), the highest amercement. 35. For abusing a man of his own caste, he shall be fined twelve Pazas. 36. For abusing a man of a lower caste, he shall be fined six (Pazas). 32. Nand. infers from the use of the particle 4a that ‘a family’ is also intended here. V, 48. CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW. 29 37. For insulting a member of the highest caste or of his own caste (he having been insulted by him) at the same time, the same fine is ordained ; 38. Or (if he only returns his insult, a fine amounting to) three K4rshdpamas. 39. The same (punishment is ordained) if he calls him bad names. 40. An adulterer shall be made to pay the highest amercement if he has had connection with a woman of his own caste; 41. For adultery with women of a lower caste, the second amercement; 42.

For a bestial crime committed with cattle (other than cows) he shall be fined a hundred K4rshapamas. 45.

And he shall have to support her. 47. He who says of an unblemished damsel, that she has a blemish (shall pay) the highest amercement. 48. For killing an elephant, or a horse, or a camel, or a cow, (the criminal) shall have one hand, or one foot, lopped off.
