The great Rishi Ushanas, O son, recited two Slokas in days of yore. Listen to them, O king, with rapt attention. The true Kshatriya, ever observant of his duties, should punish a Brahmana, inspite of his being the master of the Vedas if he rushes to battle with an uplifted weapon.
श्लोकौ चोशनसा गीतौ तौ निबोध महाराज त्वमेकाग्रमना नृप॥ उद्यम्य शस्त्रमायान्तमपि वेदान्तगं रणे। निगृह्णीयात् स्वधर्मेण धर्मापेक्षी नराधिपः॥
