Hindu Law and Judicature from the Dharma-Sástra of Yájnavalkya

Note 95 — LAW AND JUDICATURE.

W. A. (William Austin) Montriou translation

i. e. The bráhmaṇ borrower gives two hundredths, the kshattriya three hundredths, &c. (M.) But Jagannát'ha, in his Digest (Colebrooke, B. 1, c. 1, s. 28) interprets the text inversely, viz. the bráhmaṇ creditor takes two suvarṇas in a hundred, the kshattriya three, and so on. Manu, ch. 8, sl. 140-142.
