vaiśyaś cet kṣatriyāṃ guptāṃ vaiśyāṃ vā kṣatriyo vrajet) | yo brāhmaṇyām aguptāyāṃ tāv ubhau daṇḍam arhataḥ) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
If a Vaiśya approaches a guarded female of the Kshatriya caste, or a Kshatriya a (guarded) Vaiiya woman, they both deserve the same punishment as in the case of an unguarded Brāhmaṇa female.
