CHAPTER XI
55/92

Let him not explain law and rites to the C[=u]dra (slave) caste; if he does so, he sinks into the hell Boundless.

Let him not take presents from an avaricious king who disobeys the law-codes; if he does so, he goes to twenty-one hells (called Darkness, Dense-darkness, Frightful, Hell, Thread of Death, Great Hell, Burning, Place of Spikes, Frying-pan, River of Hell, etc., etc., etc.).

Let him never despise a warrior, a snake, or a priest.

Let him never despise himself.

Let him say what is true and what is agreeable, but not disagreeable truth or agreeable false-hood.
