When a man, actuated by vanity, folly, or braggartism, declares himself, that he has enjoyed the love of a certain woman, that is also termed an adulterous proceeding. 70. When a man has connexion with a woman of his own caste, a fine of the highest degree (shall be inflicted on him) ; and the middling fine, when he has connexion with a woman of lower caste; and capital punishment, when he has connexion with a woman of superior caste. 71.

For that crime, no other punishment than excision of the organ is considered (as a sufficient atonement). * 76. When a man has sexual connexion with (small) cattle, he shall pay one hundred (Pamas) as a fine; (for sexual connexion) with a cow, he shall pay the middling fine; and the same (for sexual connexion) with a low-caste woman. * 77, Let a punishment be inflicted by the king on him who has intercourse with a woman, with whom it is forbidden to have intercourse, and let such sinners be cleared (of the moral offence committed by them) by performing a penance. * 78, Intercourse is permitted with a wanton woman, who belongs to another than the Brahman caste, or a prostitute, or a female slave, or a female not restrained by her master (nishk4sint), if these women belong to a lower caste than oneself; but with a woman of superior caste, intercourse is prohibited. 75. The fact that female ascetics (pravragiti) are reckoned by Narada among those females whose violation is incest—literally ‘an offence as heavy as the violation of a spiritual teacher’s bed ’— constitutes an important difference between his teaching and Manu’s. Manu ordains the same punishment for the violation of female ascetics as for the violation of the wives of actors and singers and other abandoned women. See Professor Bithler’s note on Manu VIII, 363. All commentators declare that this rule is applicable in the case of guarded women only. The Vivadasintamani says that the term ‘mother’ denotes a stepmother in paragraph 73. 76. Vishzu V, 43, 44; Manu VIII, 385; Yagaavalkya II, 289. 48.

Should the husband of a childless woman die, she must go to her brother-in-law, through desire to obtain a son, after having received the (required) authorization from her Gurus. 81. And he shall have intercourse with her, till a son be born. When a son is born, he must leave her. It would be sinful intercourse otherwise. 82-84.

The same clause is found in the Nepalese MS. ‘He shall advise the woman’ means, according to Gagannftha, ‘he shall teach her the general illegality of receiving the caresses of other men, and the particular legality of an appointment to raise up offspring.’ See Colebrooke’s (Gagannatha’s) Digest, IV, 4, 147.
