शूद्रस्य ब्राह्मण वादिनो देव द्रव्यम् अवस्तृणतो राज द्विष्टम् आदिशतो द्वि नेत्र भेदिनश् च योग अञ्जनेन अन्धत्वम्, अष्ट शतो वा दण्डः ॥

When a Súdra calls himself a Bráhman, or when any person steals the property of gods, conspires against the king, or destroys both the eyes of another, he shall either have his eyes destroyed by the application of poisonous ointment, or pay a fine of 800 panas.
