200. The latter,[297] [in consideration of] having [royal] protection, shall pay the portion stipulated to the monarch, shall make over all stakes won to the winner, shall be true of speech, and forbearing. 201. The monarch shall enforce payment of winnings; [that is,] such as are made in a place kept by a licensed gaming-house-master paying the royal dues, among known players, meeting openly; in other cases, not. 202. They who manage suits [arising out of the games], also the witnesses, are to be such persons as those last described. If any one play with false dice or cheat, the monarch shall have him branded and banished. 203. An overseer of the games should be appointed, who may thus become familiar with [the persons of reputed] thieves.[298] The like rules apply to wagers at fighting games, whether of men or brutes.[299] 204. If any give abusive words to one deprived of a limb or an organ of sense, or diseased, whether the words be true or untrue, or [in the guise of] ironical praise,--he shall be fined thirteen _paṇas_ and a half.[300] 205. The monarch shall compel one who uses such insulting language as, "I will go to thy sister" or "to thy mother,"[301] to pay a fine of twenty-five _paṇas._ 206. Half [of this fine is to be imposed when the offensive words are] to inferiors, double if to the wives of other men or to superiors. The fine shall be regulated according to the higher or lower cast of the parties.[302] 207. [Thus;] if the offence occurs, [where the parties are] in the ascending line of cast, the fine shall be double or treble [as may be]; if in the descending line, the fine shall be always lessened one half.[303] 208. If injury be threatened to a person's arm, or neck or eyes or thigh, the fine shall be one hundred _paṇas_; if to the foot or nose or ear or hand, and the like,[304] half of that [fine]. 209. If the threat be by one who has not the power [to carry out his threat], he shall be fined ten _paṇas_; [the threatener] who has the power shall be, in addition, compelled to give surety for the safety of the person [threatened]. 210. For abuse by imputation of a crime which would entail loss of cast, the middle fine [shall be exacted]; if of a lesser crime, the lowest fine. 211. If the abuse be directed against one conversant with the three Vedas, against the monarch, or against the gods, the highest fine [is incurred]; if against a whole cast or a community, the middle fine; if against a village or the realm, the lowest fine. 212. If a person be beaten without witnesses, the case shall be tried by marks, probabilities and public report; not however without some suspicion that the marks may have been falsely contrived. 213. For [defiling by] touching with ashes, mud, or dust, a fine is fixed of ten _paṇas_; for [defiling by] touching with impurities,[305] _scil._ of the heel or of the saliva, double [that fine]:
