vaiśyaśūdrau prayatnena svāni karmāṇi kārayet
tau hi cyutau svakarmabhyaḥ kṣobhayetām idaṃ jagat //
(The king) should carefully compel Vaisyas and Sudra to perform the work (prescribed) for them; for if these two (castes) swerved from their duties, they would throw this (whole) world into confusion.
