Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A just king shall not cause a thief to be put to death, (unless taken) with the stolen goods (in his possession); him who (is taken) with the stolen goods and the implements (of burglary), he may, without hesitation, cause to be slain.
