tatra ratnopadhāv uttamo daṇḍaḥ kartuḥ kārayituś ca sāropadhau madhyamaḥ, phalgukupyopadhau tat ca tāvat ca daṇḍaḥ //
In cases of deception in gems, both the deceiver and the abettor shall be punished with the highest amercement; in the case of superior commodities, they shall be punished with the middle-most amercement; and in that of commodities of inferior value, they shall be compelled not only to restore the same, but also pay a fine equal to the value of the articles.
