एवं चैव नरश्रेष्ठ रक्ष्या एव द्विजातयः । स्वपराद्धानपि हि तान्विषयान्ते समुत्सृजेत् ॥
English Scholarly Translation
The Kshatriya, observant of his duties, who maintains righteousness when it is trespassed against, does not by that act, commit sin, for the anger of the assailant justifies the anger of the punisher. With these restrictions only, O foremost of kings, the Brahmanas should be protected. If they commit any offence they should be banished out of the country.
