Note 49 — LAW AND JUDICATURE.

The Commentator, observing that this prohibition would seem to be implied in the terms of the sixth sloka, explains (on the authority of Nárada) that the latter refers only to the general object of the suit, e.g., that if his verbal complaint be of a loan of money, his recorded complaint shall not be of a loan of apparel—but that this clause, in the ninth sloka, ensures further uniformity in the description of the grievance and character of the suit, e.g., where one has originally complained of retention of 100 pieces of money lent, he shall not vary his complaint to a forcible taking of 100 pieces.
