so 'nṛtābhisaṃdho 'nṛtenātmānam antardhāya paraśuṃ taptaṃ pratigṛhṇāti \
sa dahyate \
atha hanyate \\616.1\
‘Dear boy, (the officers of the king) bring a man, holding him by the hand (while saying), “He has taken something, he has committed a theft, heat the axe for him.” If he is the doer of that, then he makes himself false. And being addicted to falsehood, he covers himself with falsehood and grasps the heated axe ; he is burnt, and then he is punished.
