In the case or articles weighed by scales,鈥攇old, silver and the rest,鈥攊f more than a hundred (are stolen),

 

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

鈥�Dharima鈥欌�攕cales;鈥攖hings weighed by means of scales are called 鈥�dhrimameya.鈥�

In as much as clarified butter and other liquid substances are weighed by the seer and other measures, people might think that solid substances are not meant here; hence the author has added鈥斺��gold, silver and the rest.鈥�

Since silver would have been included under the phrase 鈥�and the rest,鈥� its special mention may be taken to indicate that what are meant are only such things as are equal to it in value; it is thus that coral and other precious stones become included, but not copper, iron and Such things.

Of these things, if more than a hundred is stolen, there shall be 鈥�immolation.鈥�

鈥淲hat is it of which there should be a hundred? A hundred 鈥�palas鈥� or 鈥�办补谤峁�a蝉鈥� or 鈥�办腻谤峁Ｄ乸补峁嘺蝉鈥�?鈥�

Some people say that 鈥榟undred palas鈥� are meant.

But there is no ground available for restricting it to any particular measure. Hence it should be taken as referring to that particular measure which, in the country concerned, happens to be the standard of weighment by scales. The expression 鈥榓 hundred of gold鈥� pertains, in some places, to 鈥�迟辞濒腻蝉鈥� and in others to 鈥�palas鈥�; hence the rule is to be interpreted in accordance with local usage.

鈥�Also in the ease of fine clothes,鈥欌�攕noh as silken and coloured raiments; here also we have to construe the words鈥�

鈥�if there are more than a hundred, there shall be immolation.鈥� In the case of 厂腻谤墨蝉 two pieces (pair) are counted as 鈥榦ne,鈥� while in that of flowered wrappers and such other clothes, it is only one piece.

鈥淚n as much as the phrase 鈥�gold, silver and the rest鈥� would have sufficed to express what is meant, it was entirety useless to add the term 鈥�things weighed by scales.鈥�

It has been added for the purpose of including such high-priced things as camphor, aguru, musk and so forth. The phrase 鈥榓nd the rest鈥� (used along with 鈥榞old and silver鈥�) includes only the igneous substances (metals), or only such substances as are weighed in 鈥�苍颈峁�k补蝉鈥� and other measures, which are not applicable to camphor and other like things.

Though the limit of 鈥榓 hundred鈥� is put down in regard to both gold and silver, yet, in actual practice a distinction has to be made in the penalty inflicted in the two cases; just as there is in the expiatory rite imposed in connection with them; and this for the simple reason that things distinctly unequal should not be treated as equal. Hence in the case of silver, there is to be 鈥榠mmolation鈥� only if the value of the quantity stolen is equivalent to 鈥榓 hundred of gold.鈥�

In the case of camphor and other things, the number 鈥榟undred鈥� would pertain to 鈥�palas.鈥欌赌�(321)

 

Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

鈥�Dharimamey膩n膩m 蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺谤补箩补迟腻诲墨苍腻尘鈥欌�斺�楢rticles weighed by scales such as gold, silver, &c.,鈥� (Medh膩tithi; Govindar膩ja and Kull奴ka);鈥斺�榓rticles measured by weight, i. e., copper and the rest, other than gold and silver, and of gold, silver, &c.鈥� (N膩r膩ya峁嘺 and R膩ghav膩nanda).

This verse is quoted in 础辫补谤腻谤办补 (p. 847), which adds the following notes:鈥斺��Dharimameya鈥� are those things that are measured by scales,鈥�i.e., 鈥榞old, silver and so forth鈥�.鈥擨f the author had only the expression 鈥�蝉耻惫补谤峁嘺谤补箩补迟腻诲墨苍腻尘鈥�, 鈥榞old, silver &c.,鈥� then iron and other metals also would become included; similarly if he had only 鈥�诲丑补谤颈尘补尘别测腻苍腻尘鈥� 鈥榯hings weighed by scales鈥�, then molasses and such other things also would become included; by having both, even such articles as pearls, corals and the like, which also are 鈥榳eighed by scales,鈥� become included; these latter also belong to the same category as 鈥榞old and silver鈥� by reason of their being highly valuable; the term 鈥�腻诲颈鈥�, means 鈥榓nd the like thus it is that such things as molasses, even though they are 鈥榳eighed by scales鈥�, become excluded; because, being cheap, they have no similarity to 鈥榞old and silver鈥�; for the same reason such cheap metals as iron, lead and so forth are not included here,鈥斺��uttam膩ni v膩s膩峁僺i鈥�, 鈥榚xcellent clothes鈥�, clothes of patra, (?) 奴谤峁嘺 (wool), netra (?) 辫补峁��� (silk, and so forth).

It is quoted in 痴测补惫补丑腻谤补尘补测奴办丑补 (p. 102);鈥攊n 痴颈惫腻诲补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 (p. 323), which explains 鈥�dharima鈥� as 鈥榳eight鈥�;鈥攊n 痴测补惫补丑腻谤补-叠腻濒补尘产丑补峁�峁�墨 (p. 987);鈥攁nd in 痴墨谤补尘颈迟谤辞诲补测补 (Vyavah膩ra, 152a).
