छिन्न नस्यं भग्न युगं तिर्यक् प्रतिमुख आगतं प्रत्यासरद् वा चक्र युक्तं याता पशु मनुष्य संबाधे वा हिंसायाम् अदण्ड्यः ॥

When an animal which has its nose-string cut off or which is not well tamed to yoke causes hurt; or when an animal, either coming furiously against a man or receding backwards with the cart to which it is tied, causes hurt or when an animal causes hurt in confusion brought about by the thronging of people and other animals; the owner of the animal shall not be punished;
