Editorial Notes. In the present edition of the three chapters of the Kâśyapaśilpa, I decided to refrain from using the stemmatic theory of recension developed by Xxxx Xxxxxxx.4 This method, while frequently applied by editors of ancient texts, has its limitations, as Xxxxxxxx has already observed,5 which are especially significant for the Kâśyapaśilpa and cognate texts. 3 The list of the manuscripts used for the edition is given at the beginning of Chapter 4. The manuscripts are discussed more thoroughly in Section 3.4 below. 4 For the evolution of this theory, see Xxxx (1958).

Editorial Notes. Amendments 1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $10,000’’.
(a) Whoever knowingly participates in any way, or conspires to do so, in the use of any ex- tortionate means
(1) to collect or attempt to collect any ex- tension of credit, or
(2) to punish any person for the nonrepay- ment thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
(b) In any prosecution under this section, for the purpose of showing an implicit threat as a means of collection, evidence may be introduced tending to show that one or more extensions of credit by the creditor were, to the knowledge of the person against whom the implicit threat was alleged to have been made, collected or at- tempted to be collected by extortionate means or that the nonrepayment thereof was punished by extortionate means.
(c) In any prosecution under this section, if evidence has been introduced tending to show the existence, at the time the extension of cred- it in question was made, of the circumstances described in section 892(b)(1) or the cir- cumstances described in section 892(b)(2), and di- rect evidence of the actual belief of the debtor as to the creditor’s collection practices is not available, then for the purpose of showing that words or other means of communication, shown to have been employed as a means of collection, in fact carried an express or implicit threat, the court may in its discretion allow evidence to be introduced tending to show the reputation of the defendant in any community of which the per- son against whom the alleged threat was made was a member at the time of the collection or attempt at collection.
