4.14.41

brāhmaṇaḥ sama-dṛk śānto dīnānāṃ samupekṣakaḥ /
sravate brahma tasyāpi bhinna-bhāṇḍāt payo yathā //

39—40. Though they perceived the serious trouble to the world from the robbers who deprived it of its wealth and from those who tried to kill one another when the king was gone, even those who were powerful enough saw the evil (but considering the loss of their own Tapas) did not check the people though they knew that the country was without a king helpless and become infested with robbers. 41. Should any one, a brahmin as he may be, devoted to Paramatman, perfectly tranquil and looking upon everything with equal light, neglect to protect the helpless sufferers his Tapas will leak out even as water does from a pot having a hole.
