Manu 8.157
समुद्रयानकुशला देशकालअर्थदर्शिनः । स्थापयन्ति) तु यां वृद्धिं सा तत्र-अधिगमं प्रति ॥
samudrayānakuśalā deśa.kāla.arthadarśinaḥ | sthāpayanti) tu yāṃ vṛddhiṃ sā tatra-adhigamaṃ prati ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Whatever rate men fix, who are expert in sea-voyages and able to calculate (the profit) according to the place, the time, and the objects (carried), that (has legal force) in such cases with respect to the payment (to be made).
