lobhāt sahasraṃ daṇḍyas tu mohāt pūrvaṃ tu sāhasam
bhayād dvau madhyamau daṇḍau maitrāt pūrvaṃ caturguṇam //

(He who commits perjury) through covetousness shall be fined one thousand (panas), (he who does it) through distraction, in the lowest amercement; (if a man does it) through fear, two middling amercements shall be paid as a fine, (if he does it) through friendship, four times the amount of the lowest (amercement).

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
