महा अपराधे अपि पुरोहिते सम्रोधनम् अवस्रावणं वा सिद्धिः, युव राजे सम्रोधनं निग्रहो वा गुणवत्य् अन्यस्मिन् सति पुत्रे ॥

When the priest is guilty of the gravest treason, relief should be found either by confining him or by banishing him; when the heir-apparent is so, confinement or death (nigraha), provided that there is another son of good character.
