Manu 8.50
यः स्वयं साधयेद्) अर्थम् उत्तमर्णो ऽअधमर्णिकात् । न स राज्ञा-अभियोक्तव्यः) स्वकं संसाधयन्) धनम् ॥
yaḥ svayaṃ sādhayed) artham uttamarṇo 'adhamarṇikāt | na sa rājñā-abhiyoktavyaḥ) svakaṃ saṃsādhayan) dhanam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A creditor who himself recovers his property from his debtor, must not be blamed by the king for retaking what is his own.
