Chapter the nineteenth—To declare the greater consideration to 
be given to the households of Rajas than to those of ye all.—lIf any 
one strikes the slave of a Raja, so that he dies, the offender if a free- 
man must surrender himself as a hostage to a Raja and if a slave he 
shall be strangled and beheaded ; and if the act of the slave is com- 
mitted with the knowledge of his master the latter shall be fined a 
kati and five tahils of silver. Wherefore none of ye must resist 
the slave of a Raja on any occasion whatsoever. This rule may be 
modified if the slave is very insulting, as for instance, towards females, 
so that the opponent cannot restrain himself any longer or cannot 
get away from him. In such a case the Raja’s slave may be forcibly 
taken, or his offence may be reported to the judge or to the Raja’s 
penghulw who should punish him.
