5.3.32
śūnyaṃ vā niveśayitum abhyutthito hiraṇyam eva dadyāt, na grāmaṃ grāmasaṃjātavyavahārasthāpanārtham //
When wanting in money, the king may give forest produce, cattle, or fields along with a small amount of money. If he is desirous to colonise waste lands, he shall make payments in money alone; and if he is desirous of regulating the affairs of all villages equally, then he shall give no village to any (of his servants).
