तत्र रत्न उपधाव् उत्तमो दण्डः कर्तुः कारयितुश् च सार उपधौ मध्यमः, फल्गु कुप्य उपधौ तत् च तावत् च दण्डः ॥

In cases of deception in gems, both the deceiver and the abettor shall be punished with the highest amercement; in the case of superior commodities, they shall be punished with the middle-most amercement; and in that of commodities of inferior value, they shall be compelled not only to restore the same, but also pay a fine equal to the value of the articles.
