Dear Friends,
Does anyone recognise this verse and able to locate it? Below is is how I found it transliterated:
Na rajyam na cha rajasit na dandi na cha dandikah,
dharmasauva prajasasarva rakshintasya parasparam
The closest I've found is the following verse on GRETIL:
MBh
06,012.036a na tatra rājā rājendra na daṇḍo na ca daṇḍikāḥ
06,012.036c svadharmeṇaiva dharmaṃ ca te rakṣanti parasparam
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
