Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A (man of) low (caste) who makes love to a maiden (of) the highest (caste) shall suffer corporal punishment; he who addresses a maiden (of) equal (caste) shall pay the nuptial fee, if her father desires it.
