8.2.25

prayāsavadhāt sasyavadho muṣṭivadhāt pāpīyān, nirājīvatvād avṛṣṭir ativṛṣṭitaḥ //

The destruction of crops is worse than the destruction of handfuls (of grains), since it is the labour that is destroyed thereby; absence of rain is worse than too much rain.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
