Manu 8.311
निग्रहेण हि पापानां साधूनां संग्रहेण च । द्विजातय इव-इज्याभिः पूयन्ते) सततं नृपाः ॥
nigraheṇa hi pāpānāṃ sādhūnāṃ saṃgraheṇa ca | dvijātaya iva-ijyābhiḥ pūyante) satataṃ nṛpāḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For by punishing the wicked and by favouring the virtuous, kings are constantly sanctified, just as twice-born men by sacrifices.
