3.13.6

sakṛdātmādhātā niṣpatitaḥ sīdet, dvir anyenāhitakaḥ, sakṛd ubhau paraviṣayābhimukhau //

Any person who has once voluntarily enslaved himself shall, if guilty of an offence (nishpatitah), be a slave for life. Similarly, any person whose life has been twice mortgaged by others shall, if guilty of an offence, be a slave for life. Both of these two sorts of men shall, if they are once found desirous to run away to foreign countries, be slaves for life.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
