5.10.23

śāstābhigoptā nṛpatiḥ prajānāṃ yaḥ kiṅkaro vai na pinaṣṭi piṣṭam /
sva-dharmam ārādhanam acyutasya yad īhamāno vijahāty aghaugham //

23. “He who is a king ought to punish the wicked and protect the good and he who is a (true) servant of Achyuta does not grind

what is already ground; for, in trying to do his own righteous duty, he does worship Achyuta and cast off all his sin.
