Manu 8.59
यो यावत्-निह्नुवीत)-अर्थं मिथ्या यावति वा वदेत्) । तौ नृपेण ह्य् अधर्मज्ञौ दाप्यो) तद्द्विगुणं दमम् ॥
yo yāvat-nihnuvīta)-arthaṃ mithyā yāvati vā vadet) | tau nṛpeṇa hy adharmajñau dāpyo) taddviguṇaṃ damam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
In the double of that sum which (a defendant) falsely denies or on which (the plaintiff) falsely declares, shall those two (men) offending against justice be fined by the king.
