Verse 9·VR 3.65.9

न एकस्य तु कृते लोकान् विनाशयितुम् अर्हसि || ३-६५-९ युक्त दण्डा हि मृदवः प्रशान्ता वसुधा अधिपाः |

saritaH saagaraaH shailaa deva gandharva daanavaaH || 3-65-11 na alam te vipriyam kartum diikShitasya iva saadhavaH |

Translation

"It will be inapt of you to wish for wrecking a havoc upon all worlds for an individual's wrongdoing. Why because, the good-hearted, good-natured kings are they who impose tenable punishment... [3-65-9b, 10a]
