246 VYAVAHĀRAMAYŪKHA [ S. XIV 2-5
[ M. p. 133 l. 2-p. 134 l. 5
When animals die let (the herdsman) present to the master in order
to show (him) the signs (for recognising his deceased cattle) the ears,
their hides, their tails, the abdomen (or bladder) the tendons, the
pigment (found in their heads &c )
Madana says that aṅkaḥ means the horns and the like. Yājña-
valkya (II 167) describes the portion of ground (to be set apart) as
pasturage for cows and the like

• A vacant space (for grazing cattle) of one hundred bows should be
  left between one village and another two hundred bows in the case of
  a large-sized village and four hundred bows in the case of a town ¹
  'Parīṇāhaḥ means land set apart for pasture for kine and the like.
  This pariṇāha is the same as parīhāra since Manu (VIII. 237) says
  round about a village an enclosure should be kept of one hundred bows
  a kharvaṭa is a village having several artificers and husbandmen, some
  say it means 'a village abounding in thorny shrubs ² Yājñavalkya (II
  159-161) describes the fine to be paid by the owner of beasts when they
  eat the growing crop or the like belonging to another
  (The owner of) a she-buffalo doing damage to crops should be fined
  eight māṣas half of that (the owner of) a cow (should be fined) half
  of that (i e. two māṣas) (the owner of) goats and sheep. For cattle
  sitting down in the field after eating the crops the fine is double of that
  already stated The same fine is to be levied in the case of enclosures
  (in which grass is stored) asses and camels are equal to she-buffalo
  (as regards fine) As much crop as may be destroyed (by straying
  animals) shall be made good to the owner of the field the herdsman (if
  at fault) shall be whipped but the owner of the cattle incurs the fine
  already stated
  ‡ Vivītam means a place for storing grass, wood and the like
  Uśanas states an exception to the above:
  (Owners of) cows are not to be fined during festivals (if they stray)
  and at the time for a śrāddha.
  Vyāsa says
  O best of men what was enjoyed by brāhmaṇas after committing a
  trespass, by very indigent relations or by cows excels the Vājapeya ³ (in
  merit)
  Uśanas says

1. The reading of the printed text is grāmakṣetrāntaram (which means between
   a village and the fields). A bow was often taken as equal to four cubits. Vide p. 66 for
   various lengths of a bow
2. This is the explanation given by the Mit. The Mayūkha follows the Madanaratna
3. Vājapeya is one of the seven soma sacrifices. Vide Gautama VIII. 21.
