Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
If the original (seller) be not producible, (the buyer) being exculpated by a public sale, must be dismissed by the king without punishment, but (the former owner) who lost the chattel shall receive it (back from the buyer).
