If a creditor wishes to take from his debtor a payment of the load by bodily service, the witnesses would all perjure, it, summoned by the creditor for establishing the truth of the agreement, they did not say what should be said. When life is in danger, or on occasions of marriage, one may say an untruth.
स्वशरीरोपरोधेन धनमादातुमिच्छतः। सत्यसम्प्रतिपत्त्यर्थं यद् ब्रूयुः साक्षिणः क्वचित्॥ अनुक्त्वा तत्र तद्वाच्यं सर्वे तेऽनृतवादिनः। प्राणात्यये विवाहे च वक्तव्यमनृतं भवेत्॥
