तथा राजन्यो रक्षणं वै प्रजानां कृत्वा धर्मेणाप्रमत्तोऽथ दत्त्वा । यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा सर्ववेदानधीत्य दारान्कृत्वा पुण्यकृदावसेद्गृहान्॥५-२९-२२॥

Likewise, a rājanya (Kṣatriya) should protect the people, acting in accordance with dharma and remaining vigilant; he should give in charity, perform sacrifices, study all the Vedas, establish a household, and—doing meritorious deeds—dwell as a householder.
