उदक धारणं सेतुं भिन्दतस् तत्र एव अप्सु निमज्जनम्, अनुदकम् उत्तमः साहस दण्डः, भग्न उत्सृष्टकं मध्यमः ॥

When a person breaks the dam of a tank full of water, he shall be drowned in the very tank; of a tank without water, he shall be punished with the highest amercement; and of a tank which is in ruins owing to neglect, he shall be punished with the middle-most amercement.
