⁴⁴⁰ तद्वलात्कारितमप्रमाणम् । उपाधिकृताश्च सर्व एव । दूषितकर्मदुष्टसाक्ष्यपङ्कितं ससाक्षिकमपि । तादृग्विधेन लेखकेन लिखितं च । स्त्रीबालस्वतन्त्रमत्तोन्मत्तभीतताडितकृतं च । विष्णुधर्मसूत्र, VII. 6-10; मुमूर्षुशिशुभीतातंस्त्रीमत्तव्यसना तुरैः । निशोपधिवलात्कारकृतं लेख्यं न सिध्यति ॥ बृह. q. by स्मृतिच० II. p. 62. Manu. (VIII. 165 and 168) declares that fraud vitiates all transactions. Compare with Viṣṇu Dh. S. sections 10-12, 15-18 of the Indian Contract Act (of 1872). In I. L. R. 5 Bom. 99 at p. 104 'strīmatta' in Bṛ. (S. B. E. vol. 33 p. 307 v. 23) is taken as one word and rendered 'under female or aphrodisiac influence', which is not correct as shown by the texts of Viṣṇu and Kāt., where the two words are separated by other words.
