Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Property lost and afterwards found (by the king's servants) shall remain in the keeping of (special) officials; those whom the king may convict of stealing it, he shall cause to be slain by an elephant.
