4.13.18

śṛṅgiṇā daṃṣṭriṇā vā hiṃsyamānam amokṣayataḥ svāminaḥ pūrvaḥ sāhasadaṇḍaḥ, pratikruṣṭasya dviguṇaḥ //

When the owner of a horned or tusked animal does not rescue a man from being destroyed by his animal, he shall be punished with the first amercement. If he heedlessly keeps quite from rescuing though entreated, he shall be punished with twice the first amercement.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
