ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૨૨:૮
જયારે તમે નવું ઘર બાંધે ત્યારે તમારે અગાશીની ચારે ફરતે પાળ બાંધવી, કે જેથી ત્યાંથી કોઈ પડી ન જાય અને તમારા ઘર પર લોહીનો દોષ ન આવે.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण २२:८
“जब तू नया घर बनाए तब उसकी छत पर आड़ के लिये मुण्डेर बनाना , ऐसा न हो कि कोई छत पर से गिर पड़े, और तू अपने घराने पर खून का दोष लगाए।

In context

6If you come across a bird’s nest on the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young.

7You shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

8When you build a new house, then you shall make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring blood on your house if anyone falls from there.

9You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest all the fruit be defiled, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

10You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
