4.21.24

ya uddharet karaṃ rājā prajā dharmeṣv aśikṣayan /
prajānāṃ śamalaṃ bhuṅkte bhagaṃ ca svaṃ jahāti saḥ //

24. (On the other hand) the king who levies tax upon his subjects, but does not instruct and keep them in righteous ways, — only eats (shares in) their sin and loses his own good fortune to boot.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
