Manu 8.151
कुसीदवृद्धिर् द्वैगुण्यं न-अत्येति) सकृद् आहृता । [म्सकृद् आहिता)] धान्ये सदे लवे वाह्ये न-अतिक्रामति) पञ्चताम् ॥
kusīdavṛddhir dvaiguṇyaṃ na-atyeti) sakṛd āhṛtā | [M.sakṛd āhitā)] dhānye sade lave vāhye na-atikrāmati) pañcatām ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
In money transactions interest paid at one time (not by instalments) shall never exceed the double (of the principal); on grain, fruit, wool or hair, (and) beasts of burden it must not be more than five times (the original amount).
