Manu 8.36
अनृतं तु वदन्) दण्ड्यः स्ववित्तस्य-अंशम् अष्टमम् । तस्य-एव वा निधानस्य संख्यया-अल्पीयसीं कलाम् ॥
anṛtaṃ tu vadan) daṇḍyaḥ svavittasya-aṃśam aṣṭamam | tasya-eva vā nidhānasya saṃkhyayā-alpīyasīṃ kalām ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
But he who falsely says (so), shall be fined in one-eighth of his property, or, a calculation of (the value of) the treasure having been made, in some smaller portion (of that).. When a learned Brahrna/za has found treasure, deposited in former (times), he may take even the whole (of it); for he is master of everything.
