8.4.30

stambhayukto mukhyaḥ paraprāṇadravyopaghātābhyāṃ pīḍayatīti //

No, says Kautilya, it is very easy to get rid of (the troubles from) a corporation; since it has to rise or fall with the king; or it can be put down by arresting its leader or a part of the corporation itself, whereas a leader backed up with support causes oppression by injuring the life and property of others.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
