Coveted by thieves and others, the properties of all men are protected by Kshatriyas following the duties of their order. Indeed, riches and wives and every other possession owned by people would have been forcibly taken away but for this protection that the Kshatriyas give.
दस्युभिर्रियमाणं च धनं दारांश्च सर्वशः। सर्वेषामेव वर्णानां त्राता भवति पार्थिवः॥
