DÎNKARD, BOOK VIII.
CHAPTER XLI.
Sakadam Nask. 1. One section of the last twenty-two is the Vakhshistân (increase code'), particulars about the progress of increase. 2. About atonement, surrender, and compensation for anything, through dispelling it by compensating, atoning, and surrendering to him whose own it is; the period thereof not being appointed. 3. When he, whose origination of compensation, atonement, and surrender is his own, has appointed the period thereof, the growing of the sin actively, after the appointed time, is increase.
4. About increase 1 which is active (kardako), and that which is existent (zistako); how it is when the existent becomes quite active, and how it is when both are suppressed (armêsti-ait). 5. About the extraction of increase upon increases which they may occasion up to an equality; where and which it is. 6. About a righteous gift; that is, how it is when overwhelmed by impoverishment, and how it is when its increase still proceeds.
7. About the progress of interest (vakhsh) upon effective wealth, when there is interest for it, and the interest thereon accumulates; also that which does not progress; how it is when the debtor (avâm-hômônd), even on bringing back the wealth, is opulent, and the lender (avâm nafsman) is opulent on asking for it; how it is when each is not opulent, and the debtor was not opulent on asking for it; and how it is when the lender (âvâm khves)
* As this word is written vakhs (=nâs) it is doubtful whether vakhsh, increase,' or vinâs, 'sin,' is intended; and the context is insufficient to solve the doubt.
