Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Let the king take one-twentieth of that (amount) which men, well acquainted with the settlement of tolls and duties (and) skilful in (estimating the value of) all kinds of merchandise, may fix as the value for each saleable commodity.
