इन्द्र यम स्थानम् एतद् राजानः प्रत्यक्ष हेड प्रसादाः ॥
It is the king in whom the duties of both Indra (the rewarder) and Yama (the punisher) are blended, and he is a visible dispenser of punishments and rewards (hedaprasáda); whoever disregards kings will be visited with divine punishments, too. Hence kings shall never be despised."
