[If one says,] โ€˜I take upon myself [to give] the value of my armโ€™ โ€” we evaluate him [to determine] how much he is worth with the arm and how much he is worth without the arm. This is the stringency of vows [of worth] over arachin-vows. And the stringency of arachin-vows over vows [of worth] is in what manner? [If] one said, โ€˜I take upon myself [to give] my erech,โ€™ and he died, the heirs must give [it]. [But if one said,] โ€˜I take upon myself [to give] my worth,โ€™ and he died, the heirs need not give [it], for the dead have no worth. [If one says,] โ€˜I take upon myself [to give] the erech of my arm,โ€™ or, โ€˜the erech of my legโ€™ โ€” he has said nothing. [But if one says,] โ€˜I take upon myself [to give] the erech of my head,โ€™ or โ€˜the erech of my liverโ€™ โ€” he must give the erech of his entire self. This is the rule: [For] anything upon which oneโ€™s life depends, he gives the erech of his entire self.
