दण्डः सुप्तेषु जागर्ति दण्डं धर्म विदूर बुधाः || M 7.18
M 7.18. Punishment alone governs all created beings,
punishment alone protects them, punishment watches over them while they sleep;
the wise declare punishment (to be identical with) the law (Dharma).
समीक्ष्य स धृतः सम्यक सर्वा रञ्जयति प्रजाः |
असमीक्ष्य प्रणीतस तु विनाशयति सर्वतः || M 7.19
M 7.19. If (punishment) is properly inflicted after (due)
consideration, it makes all people happy; but inflicted without consideration,
it destroys everything.
