Having promised to pay, one is bound to satisfy his promise, If failing, the selfappropriator must be forcibly enslaved. If a person without satisfying a fair engagement acts improperly, he should, forsooth, be punished with the rod of punishment for behaving thus. Deviating from all duties and abandoning those of his own order, a deceitful person always wishes to follow the conduct of Asuras for maintaining life.
प्रतिश्रुत्य प्रदातव्यः स्वकार्यस्तु बलात्कृतः। यः कश्चिद् धर्मसमयात् प्रच्युतो धर्मसाधनः॥ दण्डनैव स हन्तव्यस्तं पन्थानं समाश्रितः। च्युतः सदैव धर्मेभ्योऽमानवं धर्ममास्थितः॥ शठः स्वधर्ममुत्सृज्य तमिच्छेदुपजीवितुम्।
