He that speaketh a lie on account of an animal, casteth down from heaven five of his sires of the ascending order. He that speaketh a lie on account of a cow casteth down from heaven ten of his ancestors. A lie on account of a horse causeth the downfall of a hundred; and a lie on account of a human being, the downfall of a thousand of one’s sires of the ascending order. An untruth on account of gold ruineth the members of one’s race both born and unborn, while an untruth for the sake of land ruineth everything.

In plain words: Sudhanwan says lies cause harm that grows with what the lie is about. A lie about an animal, a cow, a horse, or a person brings down more and more of one's ancestors. A lie about gold ruins one's family line, both living and future. A lie about land ruins everything.
