शतमश्वानृते हन्ति सहस्रं तु गवानृते । आत्मानं स्वजनं हन्ति पुरुषः पुरुषानृते ॥ ४-३४-९
'If a man tells a lie about a horse, he commits the sin of killing a hundred horses. If one tells a lie about a cow, he shares the sin of killing a thousand cows. If one tells a lie about a man, it is equal to the sin of killing oneself and his own people. [4-34-9]
