9.43

naśyatīṣur yathā viddhaḥ khe viddham anuvidhyataḥ
tathā naśyati vai bījaṃ paraparigrahe //

As the arrow, shot by (a hunter) who afterwards hits a wounded (deer) in the wound (made by another), is shot in vain, even so the seed, sown on what belongs to another, is quickly lost (to the sower).

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
