शृङ्गिणा दंष्ट्रिणा वा हिंस्यमानम् अमोक्षयतः स्वामिनः पूर्वः साहस दण्डः, प्रतिक्रुष्टस्य द्वि गुणः ॥

When the owner of a horned or tusked animal does not rescue a man from being destroyed by his animal, he shall be punished with the first amercement. If he heedlessly keeps quite from rescuing though entreated, he shall be punished with twice the first amercement.
