वाग्दण्डं प्रथमं कुर्याद्) धिग्दण्डं तदनन्तरम् । तृतीयं धनदण्डं तु वधदण्डम् अतः परम् ॥
vāgdaṇḍaṃ prathamaṃ kuryād) dhigdaṇḍaṃ tadanantaram | tṛtīyaṃ dhanadaṇḍaṃ tu vadhadaṇḍam ataḥ param ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let him punish first by (gentle) admonition, afterwards by (harsh) reproof, thirdly by a fine, after that by corporal chastisement.. But when he cannot restrain such (offenders) even by corporal punishment, then let him apply to them even all the four (modes conjointly).
