ABSTRACT
P. 231, Appendix v. 56. This difficult text, together with an "additional text, is quoted in a somewhat different, but equally faulty form, in the recently published last fasciculus of the Vivadaratnakara in the BibIiotheca Indica. I propose to render the two texts as follows: I Fines beginning with a KttrsMpana may amount to four KarsMpanas at most (in heavy cases); there are others beginning with two and rising to eight, or beginning with three and rising to twelve K~rsbapanas. All those (fines) which have been declared to begin with one Karsbapana may be raised to the fourfold amount; the same rule applies to the other fines as well, excepting the highest fine (which conSists of 2500 Panas).'
