Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let the (king), having fully ascertained the motive, the time and place (of the offence), and having considered the ability (of the criminal to suffer) and the (nature of the) crime, cause punishment to fall on those who deserve it.
