यः परं "एवं त्वां करिष्यामि" इति करणेन अभिभर्त्सयेद्, अकरणे यस् तस्य करणे दण्डस् ततो अर्ध दण्डं दद्यात् ॥

(Intimidation.) If a person intimidates another by using such expressions as „I shall render thee thus‟, the bravado shall be punished with half as much fine as will be levied on him who actually does so.

english translation
