Having caught such a breaker of compact, he shall make him pay six 鈥槻跃贬梗k补s鈥� of four 鈥槻醭鼙共拱�峁嘺蝉鈥� each, and also one silver 鈥樑沘tam膩na.鈥欌��(220)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (manubh膩峁�ya):

鈥�Having caught him,鈥� i.e., detected and put him under restraint鈥攖ho king should punish him, without giving him any time.

The 鈥�苍颈峁�k补 of four 蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉 each鈥欌�攊s that which is made up of four 鈥�蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉.鈥�

Though under 8.317, the 鈥�苍颈峁�k补鈥� has been defined as a measure consisting of four 鈥槻醭鼙共拱�峁嘺蝉,鈥� yet the qualification is added here in view of other definitions of the 鈥�苍颈峁�k补鈥� found in other Sm峁泃is鈥�e.g., one of them describes it as consisting of 鈥榓 hundred 蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉.鈥�

It might be argued that, in as much as the author himself has applied the name 鈥�苍颈峁�k补鈥� to four 鈥�蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉鈥� only, the mere mention of the name in the present text would be enough to show what is meant.

But, since the work is a metrical treatise, the presence of a superfluous epithet cannot be regarded as a defect.

Others have taken the term 鈥�肠补迟耻岣�s耻惫补谤峁嘺鈥� as a 叠补丑耻惫谤墨丑颈 compound, having the collective force, and hence explained the verse as prescribing three fines; the meaning being that the fine is to consist of 鈥�four 蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉,鈥� and 鈥�six 苍颈峁�k补s鈥�; so that ten 苍颈峁�k补s come to be indicated.

But for the purpose of making the compound a 叠补丑耻惫谤墨丑颈, it would be necessary to fasten the sense of possession on to that of association. For mere association with 鈥榲ariegated cows鈥� does not make Devadatta a 鈥�颁颈迟谤补驳耻岣�鈥� (which is a 叠补丑耻惫谤墨丑颈 compound meaning possessing variegated cows).

If the fines are to be taken as three distinct ones, then the only construction possible is to take the three as constituting a single penalty.

The penalty hero prescribed is alternative to 鈥榖anishment鈥� (prescribed in the preceding verse).鈥�(220)

 

Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

鈥淎ccording to 鈥榦thers鈥� mentioned by Medh膩tithi, 鈥榝our 厂耻惫补谤峁嘺蝉, or six 狈颈峁�k补蝉, or one 艢补迟补尘腻苍补; Kull奴ka and R膩ghav膩nanda also think it possible that three separate fines may be inflicted according to the circumstances of the case.鈥濃�擝uhler.
