The wise man shall, entrust a deposit to one who is born of good family, is endowed with character, cognisant of the law, and truthful, has a large following, and is wealthy and honourable鈥�(179)

 

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

He whose birth and family are well known,鈥攚hose forefathers are known to have been learned, righteous and rich,鈥攚ho never have recourse to improper acts, being mindful of the reputation of their family. In fact such a person is incapable of hearing the slightest blame; and yet it is such people! that are subject to severest criticism at the hands of the people.

鈥�痴峁泃迟补鈥� is character, conduct; i.e., being naturally mindful of public opinion.

鈥�Cognisant of the law鈥�;鈥攚ho has become acquainted with the true meaning of Sm峁泃is, Pur膩峁嘺s and 滨迟颈丑腻蝉补蝉 by repeatedly studying them.

鈥�Truthful鈥欌�攚ho has found, in all business-relations, to speak in strict accordance with real facts.

鈥�Has a large following,鈥欌�攈e who is held in high esteem by his friends and relations, as also by the officers of the king,鈥攁nd is, as such, not amenable to be approached by dishonest state-officials.

The 鈥�wealthy鈥� man avoids the misappropriation of other people鈥檚 property, with a view to safeguard his own possessions, and also through fear of transcendental results; the idea in his mind being鈥斺�業 have enough wealth of my own, why should I think of the property of others? If I were detected, I would be punished.鈥�

鈥�Honourable,鈥� who always acts righteously, or who is of a straightforward nature.

The nominal affix 鈥�驳丑补帽鈥� (in the noun 鈥�苍颈办峁�e辫补,鈥� 鈥�deposit鈥�) has the force of the passive, and makes the word stand for the gold and other property that are kept as deposits.

鈥�Shall entrust鈥欌赌摈濒补肠别.

鈥�The wise man鈥�;鈥攖he man who entrusts deposits in the said manner is 鈥�wise鈥�; otherwise he becomes a fool.

The Author here is ottering an advice in the manner of a friend; and the advice has no spiritual purpose behind it, as there is in the case of such acts as the 础峁ａ弓补办腻 and the like.

When a 鈥榙eposit鈥� is placed with such a person, it is never lost; nor is there any doubt as to who has placed it and with whom. On the other hand, if a person is a pauper, a notorious cheat or drunkard,鈥攅ven if he he dragged up, no one would even believe that a deposit had been placed with him; when the man is not possessed of a single farthing, how could it he believed that he would have been entrusted with gold or such large properties?鈥�(179)

Comparative notes by various authors

狈腻谤补诲补 (2.1, 2)鈥斺�榃hen a man entrusts any property of his own to another, in confidence and without suspicion, it is called by the learned a Deposit. A sensible man should make a deposit with one who belongs to a respectable family and who is virtuous, acquainted with his duties, veracious, influential, wealthy, and honourable.鈥�

叠峁沨补蝉辫补蝉迟颈 (12.2, 4).鈥斺�榃hen any chattel is deposited in the house of another man, through fear of the King, robbers or other dangers, or for the purpose of deceiving one鈥檚 heirs, it is called a Deposit.
