sanskrit

A cruel and wretched person who maintains his existence at the cost of others’ lives deserves to be killed for his own well-being, otherwise he will go down by his own actions. ।। 1-7-37 ।।

english translation

ऐसा क्रूर तथा दुष्ट व्यक्ति जो दूसरों के प्राणों की बलि पर पलता है, उसका वध किया जाना उसके लिए ही हितकर है, अन्यथा अपने ही कर्मों से उसकी अधोगति होती है। ।। १-७-३७ ।।
