na bhoktavyo balād ādhir bhuñjāno vṛddhim utsṛjet
mūlyena toṣayec cainam ādhisteno 'nyathā bhavet //
A pledge (to be kept only) must not be used by force, (the creditor), so using it, shall give up his (whole) interest, or, (if it has been spoilt by use) he shall satisfy the (owner) by (paying its) original price; else he commits a theft of the pledge.
