Arthashastra
राज्ञः स्व धर्मः स्वर्गाय प्रजा धर्मेण रक्षितुः । अरक्षितुर् वा क्षेप्तुर् वा मिथ्या दण्डम् अतो अन्यथा ॥
As the duty of a king consists in protecting his subjects with justice, its observance leads him to heaven. He who does not protect his people or upsets the social order wields his royal sceptre (danda) in vain.
