कार्षापणं भवेद्) दण्ड्यो यत्र-अन्यः प्राकृतो जनः । तत्र राजा भवेद्) दण्ड्यः सहस्रम् इति धारणा ॥
kārṣāpaṇaṃ bhaved) daṇḍyo yatra-anyaḥ prākṛto janaḥ | tatra rājā bhaved) daṇḍyaḥ sahasram iti dhāraṇā ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Where another common man would be fined one karshapa/za, the king shall be fined one thousand; that is the settled rule.
