Manu 8.176
यः साधयन्तं) छन्देन वेदयेद्) धनिकं नृपे । स राज्ञा तत्-चतुर्भागं दाप्यस्) तस्य च तद् धनम् ॥
yaḥ sādhayantaṃ) chandena vedayed) dhanikaṃ nṛpe | sa rājñā tat-caturbhāgaṃ dāpyas) tasya ca tad dhanam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(The debtor) who complains to the king that his creditor recovers (the debt) independently (of the court), shall be compelled by the king to pay (as a fine) one quarter (of the sum) and to his (creditor) the money (due).
