Whoever Imposes Severe Punishment Becomes Repulsive To The People; While He Who Awards Mild Punishment Becomes Contemptible. But Whoever Imposes Punishment As Deserved Becomes Respectable. For Punishment When Awarded With Due Consideration, Makes The People Devoted To Righteousness And To Works Productive Of Wealth And Enjoyment; While Punishment, When Ill-awarded Under The Influence Of Greed And Anger Or Owing To Ignorance, Excites Fury Even Among Hermits And Ascetics Dwelling In Forests, Not To Speak Of Householders.
