A sovereign should not inflict excessive punishment, nor should he use harsh words and speak ill of anyone at his back. He who distinguishes good deeds from evil, who shows the results of karma - he is called a king. Ordained by the host of gods, the gods delight in him. For the sake of himself or others, to reserve the righteousness of the land. And to put down the rogues and criminals in his domains, Such a king would give up, if need be, his life and his kingdom.
