यस्त्ववध्यवधे दोषः स वध्यस्यावधे स्मृतः । एषैव खलु मर्यादा यामयं परिवर्जयेत् ॥

The sin of killing a person unworthy of being killed is tantamount to that which is incurred by not killing one who deserves to be killed. Such is the established order of things which a weak-minded king never thinks of attending to.
