Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Householders, men with male issue, and indigenous (inhabitants of the country, be they) Kshatriyas, Vaiiyas, or.5udras, are competent, when called by a suitor, to give evidence, not any persons whatever (their condition may be) except in cases of urgency.
