[Footnote 49: 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.] [Footnote 50: These are expressed by one word, _kalaha_: but the Commentator notes its comprehensive character, as we have translated it. See the analogous passage in Manu, ch. 8, sl. 6, where an equally ambiguous word _párushya_ is similarly explained in the text itself. The term rendered "slander" by Sir Wm. Jones is simply, reviling or verbal abuse.] [Footnote 51: _sáhasa_, explained by the Commentator, assault by means of poison, or any instrument destructive of life. The word has another and more particular signification, as infra sl. 230.] [Footnote 52: Manu (ch. 8, sl. 59) inflicts a fine of double the debt upon the mendacious debtor.] [Footnote 53: _párushya_, explained by the Commentator _kalaha_: see note [50].] [Footnote 54: We have followed the Commentator in rendering these terms, which are very general and indefinite.] [Footnote 55: _i. e._ restlessly before the Court.] [Footnote 56: Manu ch. 8, sl. 25, 26.] [Footnote 57: ibid, sl. 55, 56.] [Footnote 58: Literally "put down," _i. e._ taken for granted, all question of it disposed of. See next note.]
