śatamaśvānṛte hanti sahasraṃ tu gavānṛte | ātmānaṃ svajanaṃ hanti puruṣaḥ puruṣānṛte ||
English Scholarly Translation
He that speaks a falsehood with reference to a horse, becomes guilty of the deaths of an hundred horses: he committing himself to a falsehood relative to a cow, reapeth the demerit of slaying a thousand kine; while he that uttereth an untruth touching a person, destroys self as well as his kindred.
